Research Interests
Cancer health disparities and behavioral health across the cancer continuum, with a focus on survivorship. I have great interest in the development of theory-driven research strategies focused on diminishing cancer survivor inequities especially among those experiencing an extra layer of health disadvantage such as rural, racial and ethnic minority, low education, and low-income adults. I’m interested in collaborating in multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, and multi-state teams to achieve equitable cancer and health outcomes and build large, diverse cancer epidemiology cohorts.
