Area of Interest
I am a PhD-trained nurse scientist and health services researcher with a passion in improving HPV cancer prevention and control through vaccination and access to screening. My area of research focuses on reducing HPV-associated cancer disparities and promoting HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening uptake.
I use multidisciplinary and community-engaged approaches to identify population-based solutions to improve HPV vaccination across community and clinical settings.
