I am a Master Certified Health Education Specialist with expertise spanning education, clinical research, psychology, health professions education, higher education administration, community interventions, and change management. My research endeavors transcend urban and rural boundaries, exploring community well-being and the influence of participatory research on health outcomes. I aim to nurture the next generation of public health professionals and drive positive change by inspiring and facilitating systems changes to improve the health and well-being of rural and underserved communities globally.

My interests lie at the intersection of clinical care, data, and public health systems. I am particularly interested in rural health, healthcare quality and compliance, and using health data to identify disparities and inform evidence-based solutions that improve access to care for underserved populations. I am passionate about using data, research, and cross-sector collaboration to design
programs and policies that improve health outcomes and expand access to care in rural communities.

We strive to empower our community members to work together to improve the health of their own communities.

We aim to promote the use of AI to make access to health research more equitable. Using AI for good!

As an alumni, I am an Epi fellow. I stay involved even while pursuing my next steps after MPH.

Advancing research on POTS patients through the All of Us dataset is the focus of my research.
