Early work: perinatal and environmental health

I made my earliest intellectual contributions in perinatal epidemiology and environmental health.

While I was in graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley, I worked with Dr Jeffrey Gould on projects to characterize neonatal mortality across the regions of California using linked birth-death cohort files. It was my first applied job. I learned SAS the hard way! Among other interesting mistakes, through injudiciously constructed code, overwrote a huge analytic dataset. Fortunately, the file had been backed up, and I figured out how to preserve data provenance. To this day, my disk is littered with an accretion of evolving file versions so that I never repeat that first, momentous mistake.

After I filed my dissertation and moved to Atlanta, I took my first job with the Klemm Analysis Group, a small, woman-owned statistical consulting firm based in Washington, DC, with a CDC-adjacent office in Atlanta. (KAG’s motto: “Solving and Simplifying Statistical Puzzles”.) In that job, I contributed to some ecological analyses of associations between mortality and environmental levels of fine particulate matter.
