As an Assistant Professor in the Thompson School of Social Work at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, my career has focused on an interdisciplinary approach to health and behavioral issues around homelessness. In my research career, I have focused on two main areas around homelessness, including: 1) prevention of negative outcomes for homeless individuals, and 2) developing innovative intervention methods around health and behavioral health outcomes for homeless individuals for one of Hawai’i’s most vulnerable populations and to use advanced quantitative methods to more accurately intervene in health issues. I currently teach quantitative methods and statistics to masters and PhD students in our program.
