Professional Summary
As a Graduate Assistant at the University of Cincinnati, I collaborate with a faculty mentor to design, execute, and disseminate research projects that address critical public health issues. I have a Ph.D. in Health Education and a certification as a Health Education Specialist (CHES), which equip me with the theoretical and practical knowledge to conduct rigorous and relevant research in the field of health promotion and education. My research interests lie in the intersection of sexual health, psychological well-being, and the experiences of international students. I have investigated topics such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), the sexual health of international students, and health disparities among minority populations. I have co-authored impactful presentations and posters on these topics and published extensively in peer-reviewed journals. As a health educator and mentor, I inspire my students to pursue holistic health education and advocate for tailored support and interventions for college students. I am dedicated to promoting sex positivity and health education on college campuses and fostering inclusivity and understanding in public health.
