Area of Interest

As a researcher, I seek to improve inclusion and engagement, outcomes, and experiences for cancer caregivers.

More broadly, I have developed interests in:

  1. Identifying the support needs of caregivers of individuals with serious illness
  2. Understanding caregiver-related gaps in support during care transitions from hospital to home and community
  3. Designing palliative and supportive care interventions to meet cancer caregiver needs in the outpatient and home-based settings
