Her clinical interests include OBGYN, maternal-child health, and public health. She has spent the majority of her nursing career working as a registered nurse in critical care, medical-surgical care, and women's health, as well as a family nurse practitioner in home health, maternal-fetal medicine, and primary care.

Having partnered with two leading biosensor device companies to sponsor the project, she looks forward to publishing the outcome data in the near future.
