About
Dr. Rosemberg is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan (U-M) School of Nursing. She earned her PhD with a specialty focus on occupational health as a fellow of the Centers For Disease Control (CDC)-National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) from the University of Washington, Seattle. Her program of research focuses on optimizing the health of workers, specifically low-wage workers in service industries.

Current Work:
Currently, Dr. Rosemberg is leading several projects relating to worker health. The first project aims to explore the feasibility of collecting survey, biological, and anthropometric measures among a representative group of low-wage workers. The initial part of this project was funded by the U-M Center for Occupational Health and Safety-Centers for Disease Control- T42 OH008455.
The second project aims to determine perceived work and non-work stressors and intervention needs among hotel housekeepers. This project is funded by the U-M Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG).
Lastly, Dr. Rosemberg partnered with a colleague from the U-M School of Public Health to develop an online training program on chemical exposure and safety among nail salon workers. This project is funded by the Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease (M-LEEaD) Center.
