About me
My name is Matthew Reyes (he/him/his).
I’m an aspiring public health professional and data scientist. I’m most passionate about digital health equity, epidemiology, and improving community health.
I spend my free time with my dog, Bisbee, and getting outdoors to climb rocks or bike around.
