My research explores how various structural, social, behavioral, and biological factors interact to affect the sexual and reproductive health of populations internationally and domestically. I employ both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to gather valuable insights into the sexual and reproductive health needs of underserved and most-at-risk populations in various settings in sub-Saharan Africa and the US. My ongoing research, which is focused at the intersection of migration and reproductive health, aims to understand the impact of migration on the sexual and reproductive health of immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa to the US.
