Can help with: I’m always open to conversations about equity and collaboration in suicidology. I’m also very willing to offer advice or talk about data visualization, data dashboards, and communicating research to diverse audiences (including
community members, media, policymakers, etc.). I can also help with questions related to systems and community approaches to research, public health, or policy implications.

What’s essential to your well-being? Outside of work, music is an essential part of my self-care. I enjoy singing and playing the piano. I also enjoy cooking and traveling whenever I can. Of course, coffee and streaming my favorite shows are always essential as well.
