My research focuses on the social determinants of health, particularly the intersections of health disparities, structural inequality, and gender. I examine how neighborhood contexts influence population health outcomes, with an emphasis on spatial and demographic patterns. My work integrates spatial analysis and quantitative methods to explore how place-based factors shape health inequalities across different populations.

I am eager to connect and collaborate with researchers and scholars whose work aligns with my interests in health inequality, spatial demography, and neighborhood effects on well-being.
