I am a One Health consultant whose work spans government, academic, and non-profit sectors to address key challenges that arise from human–animal–environment interactions. I am currently a Visiting Professor at the Indian Institute of Science - Bangalore, where I design One Health curricula for the Master’s in Public Health program.
My expertise is in disease ecology, with a focus on wildlife and vector-borne diseases. I hold a PhD in Population Biology, Ecology and Evolution from Emory University and received professional training as an Epidemiology Fellow with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I am particularly well-versed in the use of disease control strategies for the purpose of zoonotic spillover prevention and wildlife conservation. I have expertise in curriculum development, field project management, intervention evaluation, data science, disease surveillance, eco-epidemiological modeling, scientific writing and communication.
