Research Abstract

I am strongly committed to identifying innovative solutions to improve health care equity and outcomes among vulnerable and underserved groups. My research focuses on the development of behavioral and mind-body interventions to promote stress management and overall physical and emotional health outcomes for patients throughout the cancer spectrum. In particular, my work examines the physical, psychosocial, and biobehavioral (e.g., stress hormones) effects of stress and stress interventions among adolescents and young adult cancer survivors.
