teaching. Direct experience with environmental and infectious disease

epidemiology, GIS and GPS, aerial videography, satellite image processing, on-

site wastewater treatment, water harvesting (results in a refereed journal),

1999-2010 Associate, Office of Arid Lands Studies, The University of Arizona, Tucson,

Arizona.

Advisor to Drs. Andrew Comrie and Steve Yool and conduct environmental

analysis of LANDSAT remote sensing data since May 2006 for their EPA grant

“A valley fever (coccidioidomycosis) public health decision support system based

on climate and environmental changes.” Wrote and managed grants funded by the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from November 1999 to June 2002

and the Arizona Disease Control Research Commission from November 2001 to

December 2004 that characterized the environmental requirements for the soil-

borne fungus that cause coccidioidomycosis (valley fever) and epidemiology of

the disease. Used geographic information systems, household survey techniques,

and epidemiological methods to identify associations between environmental

characteristics and cases of valley fever in southern Arizona. Helped coordinate

NASA funded regional workshops from February 2000 to December 2001. These

workshops informed state, local and tribal government representatives how to
