Rebecca Blackwood - About Me
Hi everyone! My name is Rebecca Blackwood and I'm an MPH student at the Colorado School of Public Health, CU Anschutz campus. Starting next week, I'll be working with Jefferson County Public Health on their West Nile surveillance for the summer.
A little about me - I graduated with a bachelor's in molecular and cell biology and immunology from UC Berkeley in 2020. After spending some time in a covid diagnostics lab in Lake Tahoe, I moved to Colorado in 2021 and have spent the last 3.5 years working for a biotech company developing a point-of-need diagnostic device for the pre-symptomatic detection of infectious disease. While I loved my time in biotech, I'm really looking forward to getting field work experience with RaHP VEC.
In my free time, you can find me out in the mountains backpacking, biking, skiing, or climbing. I love a good book and enjoy making extremely mediocre artwork. Looking forward to reading all your blog posts and hearing about your experiences this summer!
Hi Rebecca! So excited to be working with you this summer! Your background in diagnostics and biotech sounds incredible, I’m sure that experience will bring such a cool perspective to the field work we’ll be doing with RaHP VEC. I’m also an MPH student at CU Anschutz, and I’m really looking forward to a great summer learning alongside you!
