I am an epidemiologist and Assistant Professor in the Division of Cancer Prevention and Control within the Department of Internal Medicine at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. As a member of the Cancer Control Program at the OSU Comprehensive Cancer Center, my research is dedicated to reducing cancer disparities through lifestyle and behavioral interventions. My research examines how physical activity, diet, and other modifiable factors influence metabolic mechanisms and health outcomes across the cancer care continuum. A particular focus of my work is improving cancer prevention and survivorship outcomes among rural and Appalachian populations.
