Research Interests
I study access to and experiences with healthcare in LGBTQIA+ communities, with a particular focus on sexual/reproductive health among queer cisgender women, nonbinary people, and transgender men, through primarily qualitative research methods. I am especially interested in centering collective care strategies and community resistance against structural cisheterosexism in health institutions.
