My clinical focus is in psychosocial care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patient and survivors with a special focus on oncofertility and reproductive health service delivery.

My research focuses on psychosocial aspects of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patient reproductive health and fertility preservation (oncofertility) services. A key area of my research attends to queer-identifying patients’ needs and preferences for appropriate and accessible oncofertility service delivery. Additionally, I explore the ways in which infertility as a result of cancer treatment aligns conceptually with discourses of queer reproduction. My primary analytic frameworks draw upon kinship theory, gender and sexuality studies, and medical anthropology. I use qualitative methods, including ethnography, phenomenology, and grounded theory, to better understand patient oncofertility experiences during treatment and throughout survivorship. My current research takes place in the context of the recently established Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology Program at Michigan Medicine.
