Biography

What attracted you to the health metrics field?

Biology has captivated me for as long as I can remember – I was that strange child who spent afternoons looking for insects under stones and beach vacations bottom-up in a tide pool. As I grew older, I gained a deep love for the rich mathematical infrastructure upon which every biological interaction is built and the computer programs that allow me to understand these relationships. In my undergraduate career I worked primarily on the molecular level, researching viral intrahost thermodynamics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the generational dynamics of genetic mutation at New York University.

That takes care of “metrics.” What about “health”? Thank my high school Human Geography teacher. It was in his class that I first began to understand the magnitude and complexity of human interactions on a global scale, the vital importance of data in shaping policy, and the catastrophic outcomes of misused information. Nowhere is this more evident than in the field of public health, where the decisions of a handful of men and women, acting based on the information given to them by others, can affect the lives of millions. Though my undergraduate research took me far from the topics covered in that class, I have never forgotten these lessons; nor have I ever looked at a map quite the same way.

I was fortunate enough to join the growing community bridging the gap between mathematics and public health shortly before coming to IHME, having spent the summer preceding my fellowship helping to develop an agent-based HIV model at the Institute for Disease Modeling (IDM) in Bellevue, WA. I hope to remain in collaboration with the HIV team at IDM even while shifting the bulk of my attention to my responsibilities at IHME.

What work are you doing at IHME?

I hail from the US County Performance research team, which uses innovative small-area estimation models to perform county-level analyses on a variety of health conditions and indicators. Past and present projects focus on diabetes, hypertension, obesity and physical activity, and smoking, with plans for an analysis of alcohol use in the pipeline. My project examines county-level cause of death, combining the Global Burden of Disease cause of death framework with our own small-area models to analyze mortality patterns and risks on a local level throughout the United States.

How do you think your experience at IHME will contribute to your future work?

My time at IHME has been invaluable at every level – quantitative, health-related, personal. While I am as yet uncertain where my life will take me after I leave this organization, having been able to work with and learn from such brilliant, passionate, and personable colleagues and peers will, I hope, leave me with a work ethic to aspire to and a group of friends and mentors to support me no matter where I go.
