Her past research interests include an independent study project that she conducted on the legal and social issues concerning Chicago’s Gang Loitering Ordinance. For the past year, she has been researching and volunteering for a clinic at The John Marshall Law School.

Her interest in social justice and policy-shaping attracted her to work as a fellow for the ICORC. She is currently assisting Dr. Stevan Weine and Dr. Anne Brisson with a new project that focuses on HIV/AIDs risks faced by women in Tajikistan.
