How/Why Research? How: cold emails, networking, OUR Opportunities database, listservs with summer research listings. Why: I love learning new things, and research takes it a step further — to discover new things!
Research Experience: In the summer of 2022, I was an Equity and Environmental Justice intern in the Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. In the summer of 2023, I received a SURF to study the effect of major life events on the development of uterine fibroids in Black women. In the summer of 2024, I will be a field research intern, studying migrant farmworkers’ health on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Overall, I research health through critical race and feminist perspectives, to better understand disparities of marginalized groups, with an equity focus to bridge this gap.
