My research interests extend into diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in surgical education, specifically when mentoring across identity differences. Currently, I serve as a member of the Association of Women Surgeons (AWS) HeForShe Committee where I am the co-director of the AWS Cross-Mentorship Workshop Series. My work within the committee focuses on defining cross-mentorship and assessing its impact on the mentor and mentee relationship in surgical training, specifically those of racial/ethnic and sexual minorities. Most recently, I have expanded my efforts into the Association of Surgical Education (ASE) where I also serve as a member of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force and continue to advocate for a safe and supportive training environment for students, residents, and faculty of the LGBTQIA+ community.
