Graduate Student • Fall 2021 Cohort
Health and Behavioral Sciences

As a researcher, I use qualitative methods to show how the practice of clinical delivery reflects and contributes to health disparities. My interests place me at the intersection of critical medical anthropology, science and technology studies, and feminist theory. Content areas include telehealth, primary care, social determinants of health, and health data. I not so secretly want to write a dissertation that is either a graphic novel or a choose your own adventure story. When not working on my PhD, I am mom to three boys and work providing technical assistance to clinical teams in safety-net settings. I am also fortunate to support telehealth research at CU Anschutz.
