My principle area of interest is demographic and health outcomes of interactions between social and environmental change, human behavior, and disease transmission.

I completed my doctorate in demography from the Office of Population Research at Princeton University in 2005. My dissertation modeled the process of labor migration and disease transmission to see which behavioral aspects were the most important determinants of disease transmission.

Currently, I am working with the sociobehavioral and prevention research core at the Center for AIDS Research at the University of Washington. My work focuses on models of behavioral processes and population-level transmission dynamics of HIV.
