about
Hi, I’m Lee. I’m based in AtlantaThe “global health capital” of the world – I’ve worked with most major institutions in the area. AKA: city in a forest, hollywood of the south, the A, Hotlanta.
AUTBKA: Terminus, 1830s – southern endpoint of the Western & Atlantic Railroad., by way of the DC areaThe data center capital of the world. DC stands for data center now if you didn’t know. – closer to cattle than the Capitol.
Most of my work has been in public health and global health ethics.
I’ve led studies, built research partnerships, and turned evidence into publications, tools, and program decisions.
Some things I’ve worked on:
- organizational learning inside disease-control campaigns
- measuring campaign effectiveness beyond “coverage”
- public engagement on contested technologies, including gene drives
- care systems for survivors of intimate partner violence
- ecology for spaceflight
I studied ecology along the James River at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, then earned an MPH at Emory’s Rollins School of Public Health.
