DR. JENNY HALL
Connecting science, lived experience, and public health to advance tick-borne disease education, prevention, and care
Presentations, training, and practical educational resources for schools, workplaces, communities, and health professionals.
Information about ticks, tick-borne diseases, and alpha-gal syndrome is often scattered across research, medical sources, media outlets, and personal experiences. It can be difficult to know what to trust, how the pieces connect, and how to translate that information into practical education.
Education on these topics is also limited and fragmented across school curricula, workplace training, professional preparation, and continuing education. Educators, organizations, and current and future health professionals need accessible, relevant learning opportunities and resources to help them—and the people they serve—feel informed, prepared, and confident navigating a tickier world.
Does this sound like you?
You want to teach others about ticks, Lyme disease, or alpha-gal syndrome but don’t have time to build materials from scratch.
You need trustworthy, engaging resources suited to the ages, settings, and communities you serve.
You’re unsure how to turn complex or conflicting information into clear, practical education.
You want to strengthen tick prevention in your school, workplace, or community but need help getting started.
You want to better understand the everyday impact of ticks, Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, and other tick-borne diseases on overall health and well-being so you can support those affected.
Let Me Help You
I understand the challenge of turning complex, fragmented information about ticks and tick-related health conditions into clear, engaging education that meets the needs of different audiences and settings. I’ve spent years piecing together information, digging into research, and finding answers to the many questions people ask about ticks, Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, and other tick-related health conditions.
By connecting science, lived experience, and public health, I help educators, community organizations, students, and health professionals feel informed, prepared, and confident navigating a tickier world, for themselves and the people they serve, now and in the future.
