Experiences & Accomplishments
As of 2024, I serve as the Director of Research and Evaluation at the Center for Urban Families (CFUF) (email: asmith@cfuf.org). My position is shared between the Bloomberg School of Public Health and CFUF. I joined the faculty of the Department of Epidemiology in 2024. As the Director of Research and Evaluation at CFUF, my focus is overseeing the organization's collection and management of data and to effectively use data for program evaluation, thereby improving program delivery and the outcomes for the individuals CFUF serves.
I previously served as an epidemiologist at the Baltimore City Health Department from 2019-2024 as a senior staff member in the Department of Epidemiology, where my position was shared between the Bloomberg School of Public Health and the City of Baltimore. In this role I conducted data analyses and mapping, assisted with survey development and program evaluation, and mentored early-career epidemiologists
