Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolCourtney Shelley is a health data scientist and epidemiologist with 11 years of experience applying rigorous epidemiologic methods to real-world biomedical data and operational disease forecasting. Currently a Lead Associate at Booz Allen Hamilton, she manages teams of modelers and DevOps specialists to deliver weekly disease forecasts and production-ready analytics. Her work blends hands-on data cleaning and feature engineering with modern data engineering practices—version control, medallion architectures, and agile workflows—to make biomedical datasets AI-ready. A former Los Alamos postdoc, she expanded short-term COVID forecasting to hospital and mental-health outcomes and studied misinformation-driven behavior change. Courtney is equally comfortable teaching data hygiene to clinical researchers as she is designing causal ML pipelines, advocating what she calls “full-stack epidemiology.”
