What motivates you to do this work?
My motivation closely follows my belief in health equity and my desire to prioritize the human narrative in medicine. Being a part of this team has allowed me to study health through an interdisciplinary lens, understanding social context and law, rather than analyzing issues through a purely biological approach. Contributing to this research team brings personal connection to this field of healthcare, encouraging me to invest myself in my work.
