Hi! My name is Gracie, and I'm a graduate student in Tucson, Arizona, USA. My research interest is in zoonotic infectious disease and ensuring that we humans are prepared for the next pandemic. In particular, I want to understand how climate change affects the habitat distribution of animals that serve as both vectors and reservoir hosts for these diseases, and how their distribution change will affect the risk of spillover into human populations. One Health, wildlife conservation, and infectious disease epidemiology all contribute methods that can be utilized to aid communities in preventing zoonotic disease outbreaks. It is important to me that my research has data-driven, tangible outcomes that can be translated into policy that communities can use in a hands-on fashion to protect both their environment and their health.
