Bio

Dr. Mills (she/her/hers) is an injury epidemiologist and Senior Research Scientist at Amazon. Her research interests are in the broad application of epi methods, with a special focus on multiple forms of injury, primarily involving spatial and individual-level risk factors for, and the interrelationships between, multiple types of violence. As a researcher scientist at Amazon, Dr. Mills designs pragmatic studies and pilot interventions to improve the work experience of Amazon employees. In both injury epi and her employee experience research, her work focuses on novel and efficient uses of administrative data. Her work is explicitly translational and mixed method, informed by her background in qualitative anthropology, public health evaluation, and demography.
