Short Bio
I am a PhD candidate in Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. My research is grounded in One Health, social-ecological systems, and complex systems thinking, and examines how shared social and environmental determinants shape health disparities across species. I am particularly interested in shared exposures that affect both human and animal well-being, and in identifying upstream opportunities to promote shared health and well-being.
My doctoral research focuses on zoonotic disease risk at the human–animal–environment interface in urban settings, with particular attention to housing conditions, urban rat ecology, and health equity. I bring an interdisciplinary background that includes clinical veterinary practice as a Registered Veterinary Technologist, undergraduate training in Human-Environment Geography and Social Anthropology, and a Master of Public Health.
Using mixed methods—including complex systems mapping, spatial epidemiology, and the analysis of administrative and surveillance data—I aim to inform prevention-oriented, equity-focused approaches to urban One Health research and practice.
