Brown University, Providence, RI Department of Environmental Science, Focus in Environmental Health, May 2003 Honors Thesis: It Takes a Village: Understanding Micro-Spatial Factors and Biomarkers Associated with Malaria and Malarial Anemia in Western Kenya Academic and Research Appointments Assistant Professor Department of Behavioral and Community Health Sciences University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health Pittsburgh, PA 2013-present Associate Research Scientist 2010-present Prevention Research Center, Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation Berkeley, CA As a Co-Investigator on four NIH grants, I used Bayesian space-time models, dynamic systems models, population level ecological models, and multilevel models to study a range of health behaviors (intimate partner violence, youth smoking, alcohol consumption, assaults). I contributed to data management, organizational study meetings, abstract writing, manuscript preparation, and grant submission. NIAAA Postdoctoral Fellow University of California Berkeley School of Public Health Berkeley, CA Analyzed associations between drinking contexts and alcohol-related problems in college students; used dynamic models to relate daily drinking measures to depression; analyzed longitudinal spatial data on associations between assault injuries and alcohol outlets using Bayesian space-time models; studied ecological correlates of racial/ethnic disparities in low birth weight rates in California; investigated patterns of drinking and smoking behaviors amongst new mothers; participated in seminars and project meetings. Postdoctoral Research Fellow 2009 Center for Social Epidemiology and Population Health, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI Analyzed associations between changing neighborhood environments and depression; investigated the spatial patterning of hopelessness; co-wrote an article on neighborhoods and health.

2 Graduate Student Research Assistant Center for Social Epidemiology and Population Health, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI Analyzed relationship between depressive symptoms and neighborhood social and physical conditions; coordinated Spatial Core research group and meetings; wrote literature review on neighborhood characteristics and depression. Research Assistant HPV Research Group, University of Washington Seattle, WA Studied the epidemiology of HPV and HIV in Senegal; assisted in data clean-up and analysis; prepared a Master s thesis investigating CD4 counts amongst HIV-negative women in Senegal. Intern High Point Neighborhood House Washington West Seattle, WA Increased awareness of home environmental pollutants and encouraged residents to take action to reduce their own exposures; trained high school-aged residents to conduct home environmental assessments. Research Assistant Seattle Biomedical Research Institute Seattle, WA Studied the epidemiology of malaria in mothers and infants in Tanzania; assisted in data clean-up and analysis. Research Assistant International Health Institute, Brown University Providence, RI Performed a microspatial statistical analysis of malaria in rural Kenya; conducted multivariate analysis on the role of anemia of inflammation in the pathogenesis of malarial anemia. Student 2002 School for International Training Zanzibar, Tanzania Conducted an independent study project on the prevalence of cholera and diarrheal disease on Pemba Island, Zanzibar; collected and analyzed data; made recommendations to Ministry of Health Pemba on potential cholera areas on island requiring more surveillance.
