My current research focuses on the intersections of LGBTQI+ health and reproductive health. I have also conducted qualitative research on gender and reproductive health as a staff research associate at Advancing New Standards in Reproduction Health (ANSIRH) at UCSF and in the Dept. of Social Welfare at UC Berkeley. I'm interested in the intersections of body size, gender, sexuality and health. I completed a BS in Psychology from University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma and earned Master of Public Health degree from Indiana University.
