Biography

As an anthropologist, I'm interested in the lived experience of health and illness, as well as the structures that shape our opportunities for health. I'm excited about opportunities to collaborate with communities on research and practice toward health equity. Some of my current work at the University of Iowa involves working with community partners on projects involving healthcare for migrant and seasonal farmworkers, the disruption of healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic, and equity in infection prevention and vaccination.
