Research Interests
My research interests centre on accessibility and equity. I hold research interests in primary and community healthcare, specifically focused on increasing engagement for marginalised patient populations. Addtionally, I have conducted research focused on intersectional barriers for racially marginalised indviduals in institutional settings. I am particularly interested in the potential role of trauma-informed healthcare provisions in increasing engagement from marginalised patient populations.
