What motivates you to be a changemaker in your community?

Growing up at the intersections of multiple identities, I’ve come to learn how the voices of marginalized groups can oftentimes be overlooked and go unheard. I hope that by working within these communities, sustainable change can be made, which also highlights the lived experiences of those within these communities.

My Capstone

This capstone project is a mixed methods research project that targets immigrant women who have received and/or are seeking maternal and reproductive healthcare services in Buffalo, New York. Interviews will be conducted with Immigrant women about their experiences with maternal and reproductive healthcare services. In addition, a survey will be conducted in collaboration with a community organization for community members to report on the barriers that have impacted their ability to access these services.
