I am a doctoral trained epidemiologist and health equity researcher with extensive experience in the content areas of maternal and child health, reproductive justice, women's health and structural and social determinants of health. I apply novel methods and approaches in understanding, measuring and addressing racism, discrimination and other forms of oppression as it relates to health and well-being over the life-course. One my notable contributions to the field is the development of novel measures of institutional racism in the form of "residential redlining" or home mortgage discrimination as key structural determinants shaping residential segregation, neighborhood environments and health. I have also been intimately engaged in co-leading equity efforts in the response to the global pandemic of COVID-19. My research also includes place-based/neighborhood effects, community-driven research approaches, ecological momentary assessment, program evaluation, mixed methods and qualitative inquiry (e.g., oral history, ethnography, intensive interviewing). My work has been funded by the Aetna Foundation, the Kellogg Foundation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institutes of Health. Further information about my work and curriculum vitae (CV) can be found here.
