Research
My research examines how persuasive messaging and digital platforms influence health behaviors, with attention to misinformation and disinformation, and the influence of these digital platforms and other structural factors on body image. I am committed to addressing health disparities and advancing health literacy, while exploring how culture, gender, and technology intersect to shape communication outcomes.
