Overview

As a research associate with the Center for Indigenous Health I support mental and behavioral health projects. I am interested in work that aims to reduce and eliminate health inequities, especially related to mental health, including prevention/treatment of substance use problems, suicide, and trauma, as well as harnessing cultural strengths to promote overall well-being, health, and upstream prevention efforts. In my graduate studies I contributed to multiple research projects that focused on suicide prevention with Indigenous communities. I completed my BS in applied psychology at Montana State University and my MSPH in social and behavioral interventions at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
