Jean is a PhD student in the Environmental Health Sciences department at YSPH. As a member of the Pollitt Lab, Jean studies personal exposure to complex environmental pollutants using the Fresh Air wristband and tries to understand how these exposures may impact female reproductive health. She is also interested in statistical approaches for analyzing multivariate, high-dimensional non-parametric data.

Jean earned her MPH from YSPH in 2019. Before returning to Yale, she worked as an environmental health scientist at an environmental and risk sciences consulting firm based in Boston. Her work involved evaluating epidemiology and toxicology literature, as well as analyzing exposure assessment data in support of causation analyses in litigation and human health risk assessments.
