Background

Many behavioral weight loss (BWL) programs underperform for African American women with severe obesity due to a lack of cultural relevance and their failure to address the unique psychosocial and physical challenges faced by those with severe obesity.

Case Studies

Welcome to my portfolio’s Case Studies hub—your starting point for exploring three separate research projects that each approach the same underlying public health problem from different angles. These case studies showcase my human-centered inquiry, mixed-methods design, and evidence-driven storytelling across multiple phases of work. You’ll also find a link to a dedicated page that takes a deeper dive into the shared problem space (see "Background"), providing additional context for how these projects connect. Click on the links to explore each case study and see how I translate complex problems into clear, actionable opportunities for meaningful change.
