Bio
Current research focus
My research interests are in tobacco control, cardiovascular health, and women's health.
Ongoing projects
My current research is focused on understanding polytobacco use behaviors among adolescents and adults. Specifically, I use the NIH-funded Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study to assess and understand the etiology and progression of the dual use of e-cigarettes and cigarettes to transition outcomes. I also work with the NIH-funded Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis to identify areas for improving cardiovascular health across diverse populations.
