I am a doctoral student pursuing a degree in Health Services Research and Health Policy (Organization and Management Track) at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health. My primary research interests center on understanding how to ameliorate the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual suffering associated with serious illness and end of life through policy and behavioral interventions. Prior to matriculation at Emory, I spent five years at the Massachusetts General Hospital where I worked as a project coordinator for the Great Plains Lakota Research Collaborative, a collaboration and tribal-academic research partnership that aims to improve health outcomes in Great Plains Tribal Nations through community-based participatory research.
