Involvement/Activity
I’m an undergraduate student involved with or seeking opportunities for health equity research or practice
What I would like to offer as a collaborator…
As part of Cornell University’s Community Work Study Program, I have developed experience in community engagement and research as the editorial assistant for the Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development. I have also been a part of various student organizations that have familiarized me with health equity, nutrition, and policy, such as the Cornell Healthcare Review and the Cornell Center for Health Equity Undergraduate Chapter. As a collaborator, I can support community-based health organizations. As an undergraduate student, I can also provide insight into student responses to health equity training and models and the effectiveness of both to support the development of tools and trainings.
What I am looking for from a collaborator…
I am looking for mentorship in pursuing research and internships related to maternal health equity. I am also specifically interested in maternal mental health, racial disparities, and Community-based participatory research.
