Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamantha Loh is a data-driven health scientist and epidemiologist with nine years of applied public health experience spanning local, state, and federal agencies, currently serving as a Title 42 Associate Service Fellow at the CDC. She holds an MPH (4.0) from the Colorado School of Public Health and combines rigorous study design and biostatistical skills with hands-on infectious disease surveillance, outbreak investigation, and interactive dashboarding (PowerBI, ArcGIS, SAS). Her research background includes leading a cross-cultural field study in South Africa on snuff use with results published and presented internationally, and she brings additional computational biology and next-generation sequencing familiarity from bioinformatics work. Comfortable in low-resource and high-stakes settings, Samantha has built practical data collection tools (REDCap, surveys), trained teams in case investigation, and translated complex data into actionable public health guidance. An uncommon asset is her language and cultural training from study abroad in Amman and immersive fieldwork in Uganda, which strengthens her community-engaged approaches to epidemiology.
