Her previous experience working with policymakers and practitioners has addressed various inequities within the American healthcare system such as unethical drug manufacturing and racial bias in pain assessment and treatment. She most recently graduated from the University of Oregon with honors, receiving a B.S. in General Social Science with a concentration in Crime, Law, and Society, and a minor in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
