I am a health services researcher and endocrinologist who provides clinical care to patients with thyroid cancer and other endocrine conditions at the University of Michigan. My prior work has explored disparities in thyroid cancer care and, in particular, has focused on Hispanic women with thyroid cancer—an underrepresented and understudied patient population. Future research will focus on exploring disparities in thyroid cancer care related to language.
