Human Resources Management Group,

I am writing to express my interest in the Research Scientist 3 (Epidemiology) position at the Department of Health. With a strong background in public health, including significant experience handling public health investigations and healthcare-associated infection control, I am enthused about the opportunity to contribute to the Bureau of Healthcare-Associated Infections at your department.

In my recent role as a Public Health Investigating Sanitarian at the Erie County Health Department, I actively participated in surveillance and investigation of public health threats, which aligns closely with the responsibilities outlined for this position. Over the past 6 years, I have honed my skills in public health surveillance, health informatics, and data interpretation, making substantial contributions to community health safety and disease prevention.

I am recognized for my flexibility in dynamic environments, my problem-solving capabilities, and my effective communication skills, all of which are crucial for navigating the complexities of epidemiological research and outbreak response. My academic background from Mercyhurst University, where I earned a degree in Public Health, further supports my practical experiences.

I am eager to bring my expertise in health informatics and my proactive approach to the Department of Health, aiming to significantly impact our ability to manage and mitigate health risks associated with emerging pathogens. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my background, skills, and enthusiasms align with the goals of your team.

Thank you for considering my application. I am looking forward to the opportunity to make a positive impact at the Department of Health and I am eager to bring my background in public health to your respected team.
