About me

Welcome to my site. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology at Michigan State University, College of Human Medicine. I am affiliated with the Maternal Health Lab and a Co-Investigator of Maternal Health MIRACLE Center of Excellence. 

My research interests include social and structural drivers of health, maternal and infant health, health disparities, and workforce development and worker wellbeing. I am also interested in applying rigorous evaluation for federal and state-sponsored interventions and providing evidence-based, community-engaged solutions to improving the care, health, and equity of underserved population.

I received a PhD in Sociology from Johns Hopkins University, an MA from Pennsylvania State University, and a BA from Peking University.
