Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: I’ve worked at CDC in the Center for Global Health for over five years and loved every minute of it! I started in the Division of Parasitic Diseases and Malaria because of my love for all things creepy crawly, and my educational background in parasitology. Within three weeks, I was on a plane to Burkina Faso in West Africa to train ministry of health staff on how to effectively track Neglected Tropical Diseases, a group of diseases that affect more than one billion people globally, largely the world's poorest. In 2015, I became an Epidemic Intelligence Service officer. I traveled the world to detect disease outbreaks and to stop their spread. I helped identify possible cholera cases in Haiti and helped roll out an Ebola rapid diagnostic test deep in the beautiful forest region of Guinea. I currently support the President’s malaria initiative, which strives to eliminate malaria and reduce poverty in Africa. No matter where in the world I’m deployed, I know that communication will be key—it always is in public health. By assisting other countries in responding to disease outbreaks, I’m keeping Americans safe and healthy, one of CDC’s goals. I love my work at CDC because every day, I’m making a difference in the lives of people who are most in need. I’m Alaine Knipes and I am CDC!
