Research Interests
My previous work examined the effects of racialized stress on health in young adults from diverse racial backgrounds. In my doctoral studies, I focus on molecular epidemiology, investigating how racial discrimination affects biological pathways related to cancer outcomes in vulnerable populations. Using advanced epidemiological methods, I aim to inform public health strategies that reduce health disparities and improve cancer outcomes.
