Biography
Alyssa joined BANGL after moving to New Orleans from Bethesda, MD. She is a graduate of Virginia Tech with a degree in Animal Science. Her primary interests are in emerging infectious diseases and neglected tropical diseases, and she was drawn to the lab's projects investigating the indirect effects of infectious disease on mental health and long-term health outcomes. She is also interested in how health inequities and social determinants of health impact the epidemiology of infectious diseases. Alyssa is currently pursuing her Master of Public Health in Epidemiology at Tulane University School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine. Outside of the lab and classes, Alyssa enjoys hiking, gardening, trying new restaurants, and hanging out with her cats.
