Research
I am currently working with Sophia Giebultowicz on the Geographical Analysis of Malaria and HIV in Malawi and with Veronica Escamilla on the Bacterial and Viral Pathogens in Groundwater in Bangladesh as a Carolina Population Center Intern. My previous research experience includes accompanying Caryl Feldacker to Lilongwe, Malawi, in the summer of 2008 to help develop an ArcGIS database from Malawi census files and satellite imagery. In continuation of my research experience last summer, I will be working under Sophia Giebultowicz in Malawi during the summer of 2009, collecting information for my senior honors thesis on the "Ecological Effects in Malaria Vaccine Effectiveness". My future plans are to attend graduate school for Public Health.
