I received my B.A. in Environmental Studies from Lewis & Clark College (Portland, OR) in May 2007. My previous work has been primarily in the field of conservation biology. However, over the past few years, I have also been nurturing an interest in public health. I believe that increased understanding and awareness of the connections between human health and ecological health are paramount to sustainable development. I aspire towards a professional career to address public health concerns in developing countries, while incorporating ecological principles into my research and practice.
