2026 STUDENTS
Allison Clonch, MPH, PhD (2026)
Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences
Women in the maritime industry are an understudied group when it comes to worker health and safety. Ally’s dissertation addressed this gap by surveying mariners about gender-based discrimination, harassment, and mental health. Her work aimed to inform safer, healthier workplaces for women at sea. Ally was a contributor to PNASH’s research in logging and log trucking safety and in the analysis of guest-worker demographic data.
Callan Krevanko, MPH, PhD Candidate
Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences
Callan is a PhD candidate at the University of Washington’s Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences. She holds an MS in Environmental Health (Environmental Epidemiology) from Harvard University, where she conducted research on work-related lung disease surveillance. Her doctoral work focuses on respiratory exposures and health symptoms among cannabis production workers, aiming to quantify airborne contaminants, assess health risks, and develop targeted exposure controls.
Idanis Cruz, RN, Doctor of Nursing Practice Student
School of Nursing
Idanis is a community health nurse at Sea Mar Community Health Center and a research assistant with PNASH. She supports maternal health patients with equitable, culturally grounded care and is currently reviewing PNASH projects and analyzing leadership survey data for the Lead Safe Project. As a DNP student, Idanis aims to address systemic barriers in Latine communities and promote more equitable health systems.
Juliana Moreno, MS (2026)
Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences
Julia's research will evaluate and develop a WISHA 10 training for the cannabis industry. This project is in collaboration with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. The development of a training module specific to the cannabis industry will help employers to identify workplace hazards and prevent injuries and illnesses like workplace asthma.
Phoebe Nadeau, MS (2025)
Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences
Phoebe's dissertation focused on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that are persistent pollutants found in everyday products, and most Americans have measurable levels in their blood. Research shows PFAS exposure varies by race, geography, and diet—especially among those eating self-caught fish or working in fish processing. Targeted outreach, biomonitoring, and clearer fish advisories are recommended to protect vulnerable communities and workers. While at PNASH, Phoebe assessed agricultural workers’ understanding of both traditional pesticide sprayers and new safety technologies. Her findings highlight the need for improved training to support worker safety and health.
Daniel Rodriguez-Pantaleon, Master of Public Health Student
Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences
Daniel’s experience with PNASH helped him develop practical research skills and contribute to projects like CLIMA and the evaluation of heat-related illness prevention policy. He plans to advance farmworker public health research and pursue a career in healthcare and is grateful for the mentorship and support from the PNASH team.
Oswaldo Perez, Master of Public Health Student
Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences
Oswaldo Perez, a first-generation college student, grew up observing the challenges faced by agricultural workers. His experiences with PNASH have deepened his understanding of occupational hazards, such as pesticide exposure, and enriched his education through hands-on research. Oswaldo aims to serve as a U.S. Air Force Public Health Officer and eventually return to his hometown to implement data-driven safety policies for agricultural communities.
Karen Munguia Rodriguez, BS (2026)
Public Health – Global Health
Karen will begin her Master of Public Health with a global health concentration in the fall of 2026. Her interests include mixed-methods and community-oriented research, Latino health, and epidemiology. She has advanced community engagement at Fred Hutch, assisted with HIV/AIDS patient work, and currently supports research on precarious employment among Latino agricultural workers in Washington. Karen is committed to addressing the challenges faced by agricultural communities.
Haylee Jarrett, BS (2025)
Medical Anthropology & Global Health
Haylee earned double majors in Medical Anthropology and Global Health, studying in both the Anthropology and Environmental Health Sciences Departments. At the PNASH Center, Haylee played a key role in supporting agricultural safety by developing practical strategies to deliver clear, timely smoke protection guidance to farm workers during the wildfire season.
Francis Gallagher, Undergraduate Student
Biology, Oregon State University
Francis is a third-year biology major at Oregon State University with aspirations to pursue a career in healthcare. In summer 2026, he will participate in the FLIPP for Lifejacket program and complete EMT training. Over the past year, Francis helped increase lifejacket use among commercial fishermen in the Pacific Northwest. His involvement with PNASH has broadened his understanding of diverse communities, clarified his career goals, and deepened his appreciation for preventative healthcare.
Thank you to other PNASH students including Sara Alper, Ricardo Moreno Garcia, Jiaqi Li, Cassandra Sanchez, Theresa Tan, and others who support our projects.
