She brings together large, diverse teams to address public health challenges such as vaccine hesitancy, food insecurity, clean indoor air, and infectious disease outbreaks. Dr. Jehn is the founder and director of the ASU Student Outbreak Response Team, a large public health training program that provides students with hand-on training and experience in outbreak response and field epidemiology while simultaneously providing public health surge capacity for state, local, and tribal public health partners
Dr. Jehn received her doctorate and master's of health science degrees in epidemiology from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Dr. Jehn teaches undergraduate courses in epidemiology, global health, and quantitative research methods. Her mentoring, teaching, and community service have been recently recognized with awards such as the President's Award for Innovation, the President's Award for Social Embeddedness, the Zebulon Pearce Distinguished Teaching Award, the Centennial Professorship, and the Gary Krahenbuhl Difference Maker Award.
