I am a PhD student in the Department of Health Policy and Management at Rollins School of Public Health. I have broad research interests in health insurance and cancer care. My research has focused on health insurance coverage, coverage disruptions, health insurance literacy, and the Affordable Care Act and access to care throughout cancer control continuum. I am also interested in topics related to social determinants of health, especially incarceration and access to cancer care and cancer outcomes.
I received my MPH in epidemiology from Rollins School of Public Health in 2017. Currently, I am also working as a health services researcher at the American Cancer Society. For a full list of up to date publications, visit my Google Scholars page.
