Expertise
Expertise
Veteran health needs assessment specialist, trained in ecological models of health behavior — with methods that extend well beyond veteran populations. My focus is secondary and tertiary prevention: identifying needs and their effects once they've already emerged. My deeper expertise is moral injury itself: its mechanisms, risk and mitigating factors, and how it's distinguished from other conditions — always approached through a holistic health lens, not in isolation.

Bio
EdD candidate (ABD), Health Education, Teachers College, Columbia University. My dissertation research focuses on post-9/11 veterans affected by moral injury — a population I'm deeply invested in serving. My work helps people name what's missing in their lives and what stands between them and where they want to be — grounded in CBPR, because people are the experts on their own lives.
