I also led a data analysis project in Perry County, AB that identified determinants of childhood obesity, impacting the health strategies for over 8,000 residents. My work in epidemiology extends to streamlining data extraction through SQL queries, for diabetes prevalence analysis in Tippah County, MS, which resulted in a 35% reduction in processing time and supported timely health policy recommendations.While serving as a Research Assistant at Ohio University, I developed interactive dashboards using Tableau to visualize vaccination coverage trends for 47,000 residents in Campbell County, WY, supporting public health planning. Additionally, I crafted a $46,000 grant proposal based on data-driven insights from a Community Health Needs Assessment in Athens, OH, leading to targeted health interventions in underserved communities.My academic background in dentistry, coupled with two years of professional experience as an Associate Dentist, has equipped me with hands-on patient care experience, resulting in improved health outcomes and increased patient referrals.
