I have over a decade of experience teaching undergraduate, masters and doctoral level students, and medical students with class sizes ranging from 10-100 students, both online and in-class formats. I have experience developing syllabi and teaching materials (lectures, class activities, homework assignments and exams) for new classes as well as modifying existing materials. Courses I have taught include:

• Environmental Health
• Environmental Health Policy
• Introduction to Environmental Risk Assessment
• Health Disparities and Health Equity
• Senior Capstone section
• Environmental Science
• Environmental Justice
• Introduction to Biostatistics
• Data Analysis Workshop
• Statistical Methods in Public Health I-IV
• Public Health Practices
• Introduction to the Risk Sciences and Public Policy (in-class and online)
• Methods in Quantitative Risk Assessment
• Elementary Algebra
• Developmental Mathematics

My research interests are in environmental epidemiology, evaluation of population exposures to environmental contaminants, assessment and communication of environmental risks, and reproductive and developmental health. In particular, most of my current research focuses on the analysis of environmental health data and development and application of risk assessment methods. Below are a sample of some of my current research projects and a highlight of projects where I am currently seeking undergraduate students to work on funded projects. 

My community service includes work with several Bay Area community groups

I have volunteered with Mount Tamalpais College (formerly Prison University Project) since 2015, instructing college-level courses to persons who are incarcerated at San Quentin Prison.		I have volunteered with Canine Companions since 2018, raising puppies that ultimately go on to become service dogs for persons who have physical disabilities, hearing impairments, neurological/developmental disorders, or other conditions.		I have volunteered with College Track since 2016, tutoring Oakland high school students in math/science and providing program evaluating data analysis to the organization.
