I am a public health researcher and evaluator. My work focuses on testing and evaluating solutions to address One Health challenges, including zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance, and food safety. I have considerable experience in this area, having led over a dozen applied research and evaluation projects in collaboration with government and development partners.

I completed postdoctoral training in science policy at the Public Health Agency of Canada (2022-23; funded by Mitacs) and doctoral training in public health at the University of Guelph (2017-2022; funded by CIHR). I am dedicated to high-quality evaluation and I hold a Credentialed Evaluator designation from the Canadian Evaluation Society.
