Research Discipline/Bio

While obtaining her EdD in Health Promotion and Education at TC, Courtney is working as an Administrative Associate to Dr. Jeanne Brooks-Gunn, a Graduate Research Assistant to Dr. Sonali Rajan, and a Research Assistant at the University of Michigan. Her dissertation research focuses on the health and well-being of farmers in Maine, a topic driven by her lived experiences growing up on her family's potato farm in northern Maine. As she continues to learn from and be mentored by researchers who influence policy, Courtney hopes to use such training to improve the health of farmers and their families.
