Biography

I am currently pursuing my PhD in Population Health Sciences with a concentration in Epidemiology at the IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health. Professionally, I am currently a project management specialist for the Surgical Outcomes and Quality Improvement Center (SOQIC) within the IU Department of Surgery, where I support health services and implementation research initiatives. My research interests include cancer epidemiology, cancer outcomes, and advancing equitable access to cancer care for underserved populations, with a particular focus on veteran health.
