About
As an emerging nurse scientist and public health leader, Tiffany's research interests center on advancing health equity, eliminating health disparities, and examining factors that may improve maternal/perinatal outcomes among birthing people of color (i.e., women, adolescents, and/or individuals) during the antepartum and postpartum periods. As a nurse, she has worked with a myriad of vulnerable populations to provide nutrition, social support, housing services, and preventive care (i.e., home-visiting services) to better health outcomes (i.e., quality of life) and reduce health disparities across marginalized communities in Chicago and suburban Cook County. Additionally, Tiffany has performed advocacy work, program evaluation, and behavioral research in reproductive and maternal health, teen pregnancy, HPV vaccination in adolescents, contraception use, food insecurity, nutrition, and disaster preparedness. Currently, Tiffany is a postdoctoral fellow with the Center of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health. She is committed to building her program of research to focus on epidemiological concepts, implementation science, mixed-method designs, and policy work to improve reproductive, maternal, and perinatal outcomes in underrepresented birthing people both nationally and globally.
