Alice received a BA in Biology from Oberlin College and MSPH in Epidemiology from Emory University. Following her graduation from Emory University, she worked as an epidemiologist for the Oklahoma City-County Health Department and Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Currently, Alice is enrolled in the Doctoral Program in Epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh, under the mentorship of Dr. Marnie Bertolet.

Alice’s research focuses on infectious disease epidemiology, particularly the modeling of vector-and airborne infections. She is particularly interested in the impact of uncertainty and data quality on modeling results and how to minimize that impact.
