Summary

I am a quantitative psychologist and biostatistician who collaborates on public health and health services research. A major substantive area has been the HIV care continuum and development of multicomponent interventions to support vulnerable populations in diagnosis, care engagement, medication adherence, and sustained viral suppression. Other key areas of collaborative work have included interventions to reduce or manage substance use and its consequences and individual differences in the development of psychosocial consequences of childhood sexual abuse.
