About

I am a behavioral science researcher specializing in health communication and health behavior change interventions, with over a decade of experience designing and executing rigorous quantitative and qualitative studies for federal agencies and nonprofits. Currently a Research Fellow at UPenn’s Annenberg School for Communication, I examine how people make health decisions—from vaccination to tobacco use—and translate those insights into evidence-based strategies to reach at-risk populations.
