Broadly, my research interests surround social determinants of health and education outcomes among racial minorities. I am interested in improving representation of minority populations and mitigating health disparities through survey research. Additionally, I am interested in mitigating nonresponse bias, and sampling hard-to-reach populations.
Current Research/Work:
I am working as a Graduate Research Assistant under the supervision of Dr. Sunghee Lee. The current project focuses on utilizing Respondent Driven Sampling as a means for examining injection drug use in the context of harm reduction and healthy aging.
