Career and Research goals:

• I want to study and develop strategies to deliver high quality endocrinology care in underserved communities through outcomes research. I hope to better understand barriers and identify actionable pathways for improvement. In my clinical practice, I hope to provide excellent, patient-centered endocrinology care.

• I hope to pursue a career in research, and Duke’s robust research infrastructure and exceptional mentorship opportunities directly support my commitment to advancing health equity.
• Duke provides structured training in research methods and grant writing to help fellows develop strong, sustainable research careers.
