Research

My research interests include HPV vaccination, health equity, intersectionality, and the well-being of Black and racialized children. My doctoral research is currently exploring ways to maximize equitable access to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in limited-resource regions of the world, particularly Ghana. As part of my engagement in the Applied Immunization Research Program at the Faculty of Nursing, I have been involved in several immunization research projects and have developed expertise in qualitative research practices and data analysis. My research experiences include research protocol development, ethics application, data collection, and knowledge dissemination.
