She founded and directs the Person-Centered Reproductive Health Program, which aims to advance reproductive autonomy and well-being by conducting research and designing programs that center people’s experiences and preferences for sexual and reproductive health and health care, guided by an attention to the intersecting oppressions and structural injustices that impact people’s lives and health. Her work was honored with the Society of Family Planning’s Beacon of Science Award in 2022. She also provides primary care and reproductive health care at the Family Health Center at San Francisco General Hospital and Planned Parenthood.
