At the heart of my work is a commitment to understanding and relieving the suffering of marginalized communities.
Through my innovative research on the mechanisms of racial discrimination in pain care, my therapeutic work with underrepresented communities, and my expert advice to (non-)profit organizations committed to enhancing employee well-being, I have been committed to promoting wellbeing, equity, and social justice.
