Research Focus

My research focuses on evaluating innovative interventions and care delivery models to ensure patients with cancer and their caregivers have access to the information they need to manage the cancer challenges they face on a daily basis (e.g., symptom management) and enhance their recovery (e.g., physical activity). My research also examines specific barriers to and solutions for sustaining these interventions in practice, such as using digital health interventions and using risk stratification. My focus is also on expanding the reach of the interventions developed to all patients and their caregivers, regardless of background (e.g., language, education).
