When I think of research, I often ask, “Who is this work serving?” I noticed a pattern in which research often stays within the ivory tower, with the expectation that a qualified few will use said research to shape policies and interventions that impact underserved groups. While commendable, I often wonder how much more communities would be improved if no “middle man” existed between researchers, their work, and the groups they aspire to serve.

With this in mind, I hope someone will benefit from having access to works I have written, co-authored, and contributed toward.
