Sherry has been a researcher with the Magzamen Lab at CSU since 2018 and has worked on a wide variety of projects investigating respiratory health effects associated with exposure to air pollution, pesticides and aeroallergens.

She serves as lab manager, data analyst and a little of everything in between.

In her non-work time, Sherry enjoys hiking, camping, attending her son’s sporting events, reading and cooking. And of course, playing with her dog!

Bonnie is a Research Scientist II in Environmental Epidemiology at Colorado State University. Her interdisciplinary training with a Ph.D. and M.A. in Anthropology and a master’s in public health has led to 15 years of international research experience. Bonnie’s driving interests are to better understand how human health and behavior is shaped by environmental conditions, and how these factors vary between populations. Her projects have mostly focused on household air pollution, pesticide exposure, tuberculosis, and maternal and child health. Bonnie’s diverse background encompasses community engaged research, managing multi-national projects, supervising field staff, capacity building, analyzing data, and publishing numerous manuscripts. Her fieldwork has included 3 years living in Honduras, plus projects in Rwanda, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, India, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Colorado, New Mexico, and California. For fun, Bonnie loves rock climbing near Denver, hiking, and playing with her Honduran-adopted kitty, Battlecat.  

Originally from the Denver metro area, Marshall graduated from Colorado State University in 2022 where he studied Environmental Public Health and Microbiology. During his studies, Marshall worked in a tuberculosis research lab and interned at the Delta County Health Department doing environmental health data informatics. He now serves as the project manager of the Globeville, Elyria, and Swansea Community Health Study, studying environmental and health disparities in Denver. When not working, Marshall enjoys hiking, biking, reading, and has picked up numerous hobbies post-graduation including crocheting, knitting, sewing, and playing the cello.

Celine Campos (she/her/ella) is a first-generation student and currently a post-baccalaureate fellow for the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in the Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences. She is co-mentored by Dr. Julie Moreno and Dr. Sheryl Magzamen. She is a recent graduate from Regis University where she received a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience with minors in Biology and Criminal Justice. She was first exposed to research at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for the Department of Gastroenterology studying Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Upon starting college, she was mentored by Dr. Karin Streifel and began to study manganese neurotoxicity and how the pathogenesis of disease may first begin in the enteric nervous system. She's had the greatest pleasure of being mentored by empowering women in STEM like Dr. Streifel, Dr. Moreno, and Dr. Magzamen, who have given her the opportunity to develop my skills in the lab and in fieldwork. Her research interests include understanding how the gut-brain-axis may play an influential role in the pathogenesis of diseases, manganese neurotoxicity, neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Her research interests arise from personal experiences and experiences from loved ones, all of which motivate me when she's in the lab or doing fieldwork. After completing her post-bac at CSU, she intends to pursue a doctorate in Toxicology.  When she's not in the lab, Celine loves to go hiking, go on adventures with her friends, try new foods, watch sports, and go to concerts.  

Anna Kenyon is a Graduate Research Assistant working on the ENVIRONS team. She is currently in her first year at CSU, pursuing a Masters in Public Health with a concentration in Global Health and Health Disparities. Anna grew up in Boston, Massachusetts and graduated from Middlebury College in 2016. After graduating, she began working in Healthcare Partnerships and Patient Advocacy for a Denver based non-profit supporting young adults with cancer and multiple sclerosis. In 2018, she began working on a human trafficking prevention program in Jharkhand, India. After a few years, Anna moved to West Bengal, India to work as an educator and continue in the field of women’s health. While in India, Anna developed an interest in addressing Environmental health factors such as air pollution and the impacts of extreme heat. With a growing commitment to Health Equity and Environmental Justice, Anna is thrilled to be a part of the Magzamen Lab and the ENVIRONS team, and to learn from her new collaborators. In her free time, Anna enjoys mountain biking, crossword puzzles, ice cream, and listening to stories.

Peter Kessinger is a Ph.D. student in Dr. Sheryl Magzamen’s lab. He is currently working on several infectious disease projects, including vector habitat suitability, fungal spore aerosolization, and pathogen habitat suitability. He is trained in data analysis, modeling, geospatial analysis, several air sampler types, and I am a certified drone pilot. My work often involves environmental sampling, remote sensing, satellite data, and animal models which has me working in the field, in the lab, and on the computer. His work usually revolves around the health concepts of the intertwined nature of people, animals, and the environment, and my future projects look to utilize drones to aid in sampling campaigns and create exposure assessments for infectious disease, especially regarding zoonotic diseases and the wildland-urban interface. His goal is to help expand the tools available for public health departments so that those health departments can be better prepared to protect and aid individuals.

Elizabeth “Beth” Lunsford is an Environmental Health PhD candidate in the Environmental and Radiological Health Science Department (ERHS) focusing on community health, environmental justice, and exposure science. Beth is an environmental engineer by training (BS Environmental Engineering from CSU), and has worked professionally in Colorado, Wyoming, California, Georgia, and Arizona. Ms. Lunsford received her Master of Public Health in Global Environmental Health from Emory University. Since joining the Magzamen lab, Beth has served as a graduate teaching assistant and co-instructor for undergraduate courses (ERHS 220, ERHS 332, ERHS 320, ERHS 410). She is currently a graduate research assistant on the Globeville, Elyria, Swansea Community Health Study in northeast Denver, Colorado. In her free time, Beth enjoys spending time with her family, being outside, and watching college football.
