My research interests include assessing the impact of structural determinants of health, strengthening community-based care delivery models, and advancing health equity in alternative payment models and quality of care. I apply a health equity lens to policy solutions that address systemic barriers to achieving full health and well-being. My research praxis rests on ethnographic inquiry, feminist theory, feminist science and technology studies, and environmental justice.
