To advance health equity, the research field and philanthropy must address underlying racism present in data collection.

I cold emailed Carly in 2019 thinking I could never do a PhD. 4 years later, I ended up with an amazing cohort, an incredible mentor, and my dream job. I am so grateful for Carly and continue to be inspired by her work.
Mentoring PhD students is my favorite part of my job. Proud to support the next generation of transition scholars. Here we are at @DCDT_CEC in Reno, Nevada! @HumbertoPenJ @DrS_Shikarpurya @HeatherDulas & Luis!

New pub alert! My incredible former advisor and colleague @CarlyBGils and I used mixed methods to examine the strengths leveraged by South Asian parents to navigate systemic adversities in transition to adulthood. A proud and #mesearch moment.
