Snapshot

I conduct participatory, mixed method ethnographic research to implement and evaluate initiatives co-created with communities related to mental health, including social determinants of health. I use narrative, immersive, and critical phenomenological approaches to understand what matters to persons from their 1st-person perspectives and in their own terms.
