Safyer McKenzie-Sampson
Member, Maternal & Child Health Research Institute (MCHRI)
BioSafyer McKenzie-Sampson is an IDEAL Provostial Fellow and instructor within the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University. Dr. McKenzie-Sampson is a social and perinatal epidemiologist, focused on researching the multi-level impacts of exposure to racism across the life course on the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes in Black communities, with the goal of translating findings into interventions to increase birth justice. Her research portfolio uniquely interrogates the rates of adverse perinatal outcomes through the lens of maternal nativity in the United States which allows for focus on the experiences of Black immigrants. She is currently the principal investigator of the AZANIA study, a mixed methods pilot study which collects data on the pregnancy and childbirth experiences of African immigrants in California. Dr. McKenzie-Sampson received her PhD in Epidemiology and Translational Science from the University of California San Francisco, and in addition to her research, she supports families in the Bay Area as a full-spectrum community doula.

David Medeiros
Geospatial Reference and Instruction Specialist, Geospatial Information Services
BioI am the Geospatial Reference and Instruction Specialist for the Stanford Geospatial Center, part of the Research Data Services group. I provide GIS consultation and reference support to Stanford students, faculty and staff. My primary role is supporting Stanford researchers in their use and understanding of geospatial tools, data, and methods.
Much of my time is spent conducting one-on-one consultations, training users on GIS software, finding spatial data, and helping design spatial analysis. In addition to one-on-one consultations I also coordinate and present our ongoing series of workshops in GIS (Introduction to GIS, Georeferencing, ArcGIS Online 101, GIS Cartography).
My educational background is in Geography and Geographic Information Science, but a significant part of my professional background is in digital cartography. I have a strong interest in the effective use of design in map making for GIS. I am available for faculty publication map support as well as novel geospatial design work with tools like Blender3d or 3d printing of spatial data.
