Heather has over 20 years of experience in data analytics including quantitative and qualitative data collection, data management, and survey design. In 2011, she earned her Master of Public Health Degree in Epidemiology from the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). Since graduating, Heather has worked as an infectious disease epidemiologist for the state of New Mexico, a statistician for the Washoe County Health District, and as a
research associate and adjunct faculty at UNR. Just prior to the pandemic, Heather took on the role of Senior Epidemiologist and Epidemiology Program Manager for the Infectious Disease Program for Washoe County. She worked on the pandemic response for over 3 years, leading teams of over 100+ persons, teaching disease investigation to over 175+ persons in the county’s response teams and managing the data tracking and reporting for COVID-19 metrics across the county. She, along with colleagues at Nevada State Public Health Laboratory, identified and proved that reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 is possible, documenting the first reinfection in the United States in 2020.

Much of her work has focused on deep diving into complex data and distilling it into understandable information for her clients and their constituents. Technical writing is Heather’s specialty, as she has coordinated and authored multiple health needs assessments including multiple Washoe County Health Needs Assessments, Nevada State Health Needs Assessments and topic-specific reports about maternal-child health, substance use, traumatic injuries and deaths, infectious diseases, and the Nevada Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)-Education program. She enjoys it when clients use their data to drive action to improve quality of life across communities.

Heather grew up in the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountain range and when she is not spending her time crunching numbers, she enjoys all the high desert has to offer – especially skiing and hiking.
