This is where you will find my recent research projects, which explore how trees, parks, and green spaces can help communities heal, build resilience, and support one another. I also look at the health impacts of gun violence, especially how it can lead to long-term pain that is often overlooked. In all of my work, I focus on partnering with communities to turn research into real solutions that make neighborhoods safer and stronger.

Current Research:

• What Doesn’t Kill Us, Hurts Us Longer: Gun Violence Exposure and Pain in the United States

• From Roots to Results: Evaluating the Impact of Tree Planting on Community Safety
