I earned my Master of Public Health in Health Behavior at UNC’s Gillings School of Global Public Health. I manage multiple research projects focused on improving HPV vaccination uptake and healthcare provider communication strategies. My research interests include cancer prevention, child and adolescent health, and increasing access to health promotion services. I have worked with several members of the P01 team for many years on projects to prevent cancer, improve vaccination services, and facilitate better patient-provider communication.
