Research Discipline/Bio
I am a doctoral candidate in Health Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, with experience in health education, public health, and DEIA initiatives. My research focuses on social network analysis and interventions for HIV/STI prevention among Black gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (BGBM), emphasizing social dynamics, sexual positioning, and DOXY-PEP.
As Program Manager at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, I lead curriculum development, training, and professional development on health equity, cultural competency, and structural determinants of health. I also lecture on implicit bias, clinical empathy, and microaggressions.
Previously, I held leadership roles at The New School and Villanova University, developing health promotion and peer education programs. My past work in HIV outreach and intervention spans University of Chicago Medicine, Emory University, and Georgia DPH. I hold an MPH from Georgia State University and a BS from Clayton State University.
