I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health Sciences at Wayne State University. I am also an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Urban Studies & Planning where I teach courses on Geographic Information Systems (GIS). I have over 12 years experience in the application of geospatial methods to a variety of topics including racial segregation, income inequality, immigration, health disparities and environmental health.
