Biography
I am passionate about mitigating health disparities and improving health outcomes by addressing socio-contextual determinants of health. My primary focus is on using epidemiologic methods to analyze large databases to inform policy and program development for high-quality, equitable healthcare. I currently work with Dr. Melinda Aldrich on addressing disparities in lung cancer screening. Before joining the program at Vanderbilt, I spent several years working in health services research and data analysis at Mass General Brigham and at Vanderbilt’s Institute for Clinical and Translational Research.
