Selected Projects & Publications

My recent projects have centered on climate change-related environmental health exposures, specifically power outages, wildfire disaster and smoke, and temperature. Before delving into environmental health, I was looked into an intervention to distribute naloxone. For all my research, I work to consider the ways in which environmental exposures, especially in a climate change context, is disproportionately distributed, often burdening already marginalized communities.
