Biography
I am a Health Communication Scientist studying racially discordant provider-patient communication in the context of cancer care, diabetes, and living with other chronic illnesses. My goal as a researcher is to advance our understanding of the role identity negotiation, and explicit and implicit biases play in the decision making process of navigating health challenges. My training and expertise are in intercultural and health communication. Autoethnographic, phenomenological, feminist, critical, and arts-based epistemologies ground my work.
