I am population health researcher and Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Carolina Population Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

My research seeks to understand how social environments and chronic stressors influence health and aging across the life course. My goal is to inform interventions that aim to reduce health disparities and improve population health. 

I earned my PhD in Human Development and Family Science from Auburn University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the Population Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
