ADAM ANDERSON, BSLA '03
Director of Epidemiology and Data Science

Adam currently serves as the Director of Epidemiology and Data Science at the Adams County Health Department in Colorado. He is also adjunct faculty at the Colorado School of Public Health, University of Colorado, where he teaches GIS and spatial analysis for health research. In addition to his BSLA from UK, he also received a Master of Urban and Regional Planning and Master of Public Health.

Adam’s professional and academic work began in landscape architecture and land-use planning, focusing on developing and building our cities. This evolved into public health, where he continues to examine these issues in the context of how communities, cultures, and the physical environment influence population-level health. He specializes in understanding and collecting health, demographic, and community data—integrating them in a way that recognizes the complexity in the distribution and explanation of health outcomes and the spread of diseases. This involves analyzing these relationships through GIS, statistical modeling, community engagement, and creating data dissemination products through thoughtful graphic design and web-based data applications. Through these processes, Adam is committed to improving our communities, resources, and opportunities for health.

LAUREN FRALEY, BSLA '11
Landscape Architect and Urban Designer

Lauren is a landscape architect and urban designer who specializes in playful landscapes and public-realm design. She wants everyone to have access to the health and creativity that come from exploring parks and open spaces like the hundred-acre farm she grew up on in Central Kentucky. She is interested in the processional, layered experience that makes every place distinct, giving rise to the deep connection that develops as a person traverses a site and its landmarks.

In her eight+ years at Perkins and Will, working on domestic and international projects of all types and scales, she has established herself as an expert at making sense of challenging site conditions. Her talent lies in understanding the nuances of a site at its most intimate scale while grounding her designs in the large-scale issues that affect topography, sightlines, history, and environment.
