During my time in graduate school, I've developed a passion for outreach and extension. I love getting opportunities to help people get the information they're seeking in an informal setting, as well as figuring out how to reach those that may not be aware yet of the information they should have to keep themselves safe from vector-borne diseases.
Depending on the setting, this can look like so many different things. I've gotten to teach the public about ticks (and other topics!) through avenues ranging from in-person tabling events to webinars, bootcamps to online articles, and more! Regardless of how I'm conducting outreach work, one thing that always stays the same is the satisfaction of knowing I am able to contribute to Penn State's land-grant mission by acting as a translator between the latest academic research and the public.
