Biography

My research focuses on refugee resettlement and refugee community development, and understanding the ways in which refugee communities experience and engage with U.S. systems like child welfare, physical and behavioral health, and education. I seek to understand the ways in which new refugee groups form communities and networks and utilize these communities to address health disparities.

Research Interests

Refugee community organizing strategies, health disparities in refugee communities, integration and resettlement
