Personal profile
Research Interests
My research focuses cardiovascular health equity. I am currently studying how social determinants of health and markers of structural racism can be included in cardiovascular disease risk estimators to produce more equitable estimates. I am also studying how the intersection of sexual orientation/gender identity and race/ethnicity contribute to cardiovascular health dsparities.
