The complexity of our world is increasing, necessitating the thoughtful curation of interdisciplinary thinking. For my research, I am interested in understanding the complexities of the Anthropocene, namely how food systems, cardiovascular health, and climate are intertwined. Adding my public health training to my past work experiences in healthcare quality improvement enables me to approach these topics from a unique, solutions-based vantagepoint. 

As I dive deeper into the field of epidemiology, even the most well-defined concepts become tangled in nuance. The problems facing our climate require bold action. And we will need all disciplines working together if we truly want to develop swift and thorough interventions.
