Biographical Sketch: I am an Epidemiologist in the Surveillance Branch of the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  My focus is antimicrobial resistance and multidrug-resistant organisms.  I am a subject matter expert for the CDC National Healthcare Safety Network Multidrug-Resistant Organism and Clostridium difficile-Associated Disease Module and the lead epidemiologist for the EIP/ABCs Severe Community-Onset S. aureus Infection Surveillance project.  Some of my responsibilities include AR/MDRO surveillance development, coordination, implementation, training, and guidance.  I am also responsible for analysis, interpretation, and reporting on AR and MDRO data from NHSN and the Severe Staph project.  My most recent background includes a position as a Quality Improvement Coordinator for a healthcare system and the Antimicrobial Resistance Epidemiologist at the Michigan Department of Community Health.
