What health disparity are you interested in solving and why?
I am deeply interested in addressing sleep and circadian disparities in Black communities, a passion that grew from my NIH-funded research in the Department of Neurobiology at Northwestern University. Through my research, I observed how disrupted sleep and circadian misalignment impact broader health outcomes, such as reproduction. I am committed to advancing research that identifies biological mechanisms and effective interventions to mitigate these disparities and improve overall health in underserved communities.
