I am a recent MPH graduate in the Community and Behavioral Health department at the University of Iowa College of Public Health. Throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies, I've been fortunate enough to collaborate with several faculty and grow my skills across the research process. I am drawn to qualitative research because I am a firm believer there is no single, objective truth; I enjoy illuminating this nuance.

I've been working with the WRG since January 2022 and currently am one of the Graduate Research Assistants. I really appreciate the value placed by Dr. Watkins on our own expertise and experiences when conducting research. I've seen noticeable growth in my leadership, confidence, and skills.
