Krista Verlis

Krista is a highly adaptable and resourceful scientist with experience across multiple disciplines, including environmental projects involving flora and fauna, ecotoxicology research, and epidemiological studies. Her work is informed by a strong belief in the interconnectedness of human health and environmental wellbeing—a connection that has become increasingly evident as the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation intensify. This perspective has driven a deliberate career pivot into the public health space, where she seeks to address health challenges through an integrated environmental and population health lens.
