Bio
I am a medical sociologist and health services researcher with specific expertise in qualitative methodologies, palliative care, and health care workforce and delivery. After completing my PhD in Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, I completed a postdoc as a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Scholar in Health Policy Research at Harvard University, where I trained in an interdisciplinary environment with scholars studying innovative approaches to health care, medical education, primary care, and health care teams. Cross-trained in both pure social science and interdisciplinary environments, I am committed to using my theoretical knowledge and training as a social scientist in order to understand complex problems in health care, especially those that evade simple answers.
