Community-Based Researcher
I’m a Postdoctoral Scholar and K99/R00 Awardee at Tufts University studying the process through which small-scale, meaningful community relationships and projects can create broader changes in health, education, and policy.
The World Is
Connected.
So, Why Aren’t we?
I utilize tools such as social network analysis and complex modeling. Social network analysis allows me to examine the relationships and interactions between individuals, groups, and organizations within communities, providing insights into social support systems, information flow, and community resources. Complex modeling, on the other hand, enables me to simulate and analyze the intricate dynamics of social, health, and economic systems, shedding light on the underlying processes and identifying potential leverage points for intervention. By combining the principles of community psychology with these advanced analytical tools, I strive to develop evidence-based strategies that foster community well-being, promote social equity, and address the complex challenges that communities face.
Project Highlight
Collaborative Model Building To Understand Alcohol-Involved Sexual Violence
The overall goal of this proposal is to create a stakeholder-developed ABM that will serve as a tool to help campuses reduce alcohol-involved sexual violence among students.
By developing our model in a stepwise stakeholder-engaged manner, and by bringing our model outputs back to key stakeholders on college campuses, we further the usefulness and reach of model-based approaches to reduce sexual violence.
Project Highlight
Group Model Building To Catalyze Communities For Improving Child Health Equity
The overall goal of this project is to fundamentally transform the way communities across the country work together to reverse the trends that drive health disparities and to create a paradigm shift within the obesity-prevention field away from linear thinking and towards systems thinking, which acknowledges complexity and builds on community strengths to improve health and well-being for all children and families.

Project Highlight
Trial: Feasibility of Network Interventions For Improving Child Health Equity
The goal of this project is to select, refine, and test network interventions (NIs) aimed at increasing the adoption of evidence-based strategies (EBS) among childhood obesity prevention coalitions serving communities with socioeconomic disadvantage. The proposed network intervention development and pilot testing will be informed by my current research that suggests coalitions engage in structured, peer-to-peer activities, and would facilitate a network intervention.
