Research Interests


I am an socio/cultural Anthropologist who is interested in understanding patient and provider experiences within the Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare system. I conduct research on the impact of rurality and healthcare access, limb loss, Whole Health programming to manage chronic pain, and geriatric surgical decision making with patient centered care approaches.

By conducting rigorous, qualitative research, it is my hope to inform and improve healthcare processes that impact veterans and caregivers.
