I co-first authored an article in BMC Cancer entitled “Neighborhood-Level Deprivation and Survival in Lung Cancer” co-led with Dr. Kathleen Kennedy and Dr. Ignacio Jusue-Torres. We assessed the potential associations of neighborhood deprivation, DNA methylation, and lung cancer mortality in a multicenter retrospective cohort study.

I co-authored an article in the American Journal of Epidemiology entitled “Residential natural hazard risk and mental health effects” led by Dr. Kaitlyn Lawrence. We assessed the potential relationship between multiple mental health outcomes (mood disorders: generalized anxiety disorder [GAD], major depressive disorder [MDD], and post-traumatic stress disorder[PTSD]) and risk of natural hazards for participants within the Gulf Long-Term Follow-up Study.

I co-authored an article in Science of the Total Environment entitled “Residential air pollution, greenspace, and adverse mental health outcomes in the U.S. Gulf Long-term Follow-up Study” led by Dr. Emily Werder.

I co-instructed a workshop at the Society for Epidemiologic Research Annual Meeting 2024 entitled “Git’n up to speed on versioning control.” The workshop was an introduction to the Git language and other Git-enabled technology for epidemiologists to version control their software code.

I co-authored an article in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology entitled “Association between solar radiation and mood disorders among Gulf Coast residents” led by Dr. Xinlei Deng. We assessed the potential relationship between multiple mental health outcomes (mood disorders: depression and distress) and multiple windows of exposure to solar radiation (7-, 14-, and 30-days prior to home visit) for participants within the Gulf Long-Term Follow-up Study.

I co-authored an article in the Journal of Agricultural, Biological and Environmental Statistics entitled “A Shared Latent Process Model to Correct for Preferential Sampling in Disease Surveillance Systems” led by Dr.

I gave an invited talk at the National Cancer Institute Division of Cancer Prevention Multi-Cancer Detection Working Group entitled “Accessible geospatial socio-economic metrics.” The talk was an introduction to my open-source R package in the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) named ndi that I developed as a postdoctoral Cancer Prevention Fellow.

I co-authored an article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute entitled “Ethylene oxide emissions and incident breast cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in a U.S. cohort” led by Dr. Rena Jones.

I co-authored an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences entitled “Burkitt lymphoma risk shows geographic and temporal associations with Plasmodium falciparum infections in Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya” led by Kelly Broen and Dr.

I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at the National Cancer Institute through the Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program working with Dr. Rena Jones and Dr. Mary Ward in the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics in Rockville, Maryland.
