Biographical information:
I was born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I did my Bachelor of Science in Public
Health in Ethiopia and my masters in Epidemiology in The Netherlands. I chose to join
USC mainly to get the opportunity to work with professors that I share a similar research
interest. I like travelling and hiking in my spare time.
Research interests:
I am interested in maternal health, specifically on gestational weight gain and maternal
obesity. I am also interested in sleep disturbance in overweight and obese mothers.
Thesis/Dissertation:
My dissertation is going to focus on the role of behavioral interventions on sleep
disturbance during pregnancy and postpartum. I am currently finalizing my course work
and then I will fully engage in working on my dissertation proposal.
