I am a health communication scientist currently studying racially discordant patient-provider communication in the context of cancer care. My goal is to advance our understanding of the role identity negotiation, and explicit and implicit biases play in the decision making process of navigating health challenges. I employ various qualitative methodologies including content, textual, and conversational analysis by focuing on the content, structure and meaning of messages.
