Description of field of expertise, major interests, and consultation topics:
I have a Masters and PhD in Communication (Michigan State University), where I focused my studies on social influence, health communication, and interpersonal communication. I have been on the faculty of the Division of General Internal Medicine in the Department of Medicine at Northwestern University since 2003. As part of my K award, I completed an MPH at Northwestern. I can discuss the role and my experience being a social science PhD working within the medical school, my experiences in finding mentors, being a mentor and mentoring in general, my experiences as a scholar seeking grant funding (grant writing) as well as a reviewer (having served a four-year term on the Community-Level Health Promotion Study Section). Furthermore, I am happy to discuss my experiences collaborating across the medical school in terms of how I have found collaborators (and they me), and what I have learned over the years working with multiple teams.
