Brief Biography:
I am interested in building rural health systems globally and locally. I have led research in how substance use, including smoking, influences communicable disease infection and progression. My research has highlighted the plight of people living with HIV/AIDS and/or addiction, people experiencing homelessness or disability, immigrants, and sex worker populations. I have been involved in Community Health Worker workforce development programming in Idaho since 2016.
