I am a PhD candidate at the School of Public Affairs and Administration at the University of Kansas. My research focuses on public policy, health equity, and collaboration.

My dissertation research explores the formation, success, and strategies of collaborations working to promote health equity. My other ongoing research projects examine equity impacts of collaboration, social resources, climate change, and health policies. I aim to quantify disparities and identify solutions to mitigate and eliminate their harm to marginalized communities. 

I am a recipient of the Eisenhower Institute's Roberts Fellowship and the University of Kansas's Dean's Doctoral Fellowship.
