Overall, my interests are focused on patient-provider communication, especially related to chronic disease management and medication adherence among children diagnosed with chronic conditions, as well as medical-decision making regarding pediatric clinical trial participation. I am interested in the role of patient advocacy and health communication among individuals diagnosed with chronic conditions. I also hope to further explore the impact of social support, racial disparities, and social determinants of health within the healthcare system.
