Summary
I am a pediatric hematologist-oncologist and a health services researcher. My research focuses on investigating social and structural drivers of health (SDOH) as it relates to pediatric cancer access, care, and outcomes. Previous projects include investigating infectious complications in children with leukemia by an area-based measure of SDOH and clinical trial enrollment disparities. I am establishing my research program focused on caregiver-clinician communication in pediatric oncology.
