I am a trained Behavioral Psychologist. The main goal of my work is to reduce substance-related harms and improve quality of life for people experiencing problems related to their substance use. I work closely with community members and people who use drugs to inform my line of research and address key needs identified. Most of my research is conducted at the Harm Reduction Research and Treatment (HaRRT) Center within the UW School of Medicine.​ My aim is to adapt, refine, and disseminate harm reduction programs through digital health interventions to empower individuals and ameliorate substance-related harms.
