Emily Kelly
Hello all! I am a final year medical student at UCSF, formerly Public Health Epidemiologist in Placer County (2020-2021), Cal-EIS Fellow at the California Department of Public Health in the Food and Drug Branch (2018-2019), London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine MSc in Control of Infectious Diseases (2016-2017). Interested in infectious disease epidemiology, microbiology, outbreak response. Really excited to work with you! Currently living in SF and would love to meet up!
👋 Hey Emily
I'm also in California and working at CDPH. Congratulations on your final year of medical school! I am also so fascinated by your background in Tropical Medicine! I did a brief public health mission in Vietnam relating to food-borne illnesses. Then I came home to work as a Disease Intervention Specialist responding to a syphilis outbreak in my hometown of Fresno. I made a slight shift and did my training to become an environmental scientist and worked with food consumer protection and wastewater. I am at CDPH and loving it. But I would love to combine my experiences and love for public service by exploring options in the United States Public Service and developing wastewater epidemiology for applied disease surveillance.
I would love to learn more about your journey in public health. Anyways, I'm glad many of us are from California. I hope to get opportunities to work alongside, grow, and learn from you, Emily! Have a wonderful day! I hope you don't mind if I post my contacts and LinkedIn below if you'd like to connect:
