Her research work has included a review to identify potential barriers to gene therapy for sickle cell disease. At UNC, she has served as a peer tutor, a child caregiver during the pandemic. She will be pursuing an advanced residency program in Anesthesiology after completion of her preliminary year at UNC with the goal of eventually integrating her prior research in on racial health disparities by working to understand inequity in perioperative and critical care outcomes.
