She loves working with data and sharing via Tableau to help people understand what is going on around them. Having seen the health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic up close while working in a hospital in 2020, she knows how dangerous COVID-19 and other airborne respiratory diseases can be, and also how powerful layered protections efforts are to help people avoid illness. Masks, vaccines, clean air, symptom screening, testing, and air quality monitoring are tools that can help people avoid COVID-19. They can also help people avoid the health effects of other pollutants such as wildfire smoke, PM 2.5 and ground level ozone.
