I’m a proud faculty member in the departments of both Gender and Women’s Studies (GWS) and Obstetrics and Gynecology, as well as the director of UW CORE, the Collaborative for Reproductive Equity. With training in both GWS and public health, I conduct mixed-methods research on sexuality, gender, and reproductive health. In all of my research and advocacy, I endeavor to help folks achieve their sexual health goals—for example, avoiding unwanted pregnancy and STIs, maximizing sexual well-being—within the context of their lives, relationships, and communities.
