Salutary Settings: Nature Therapy & the Effects
of Sound in Nature on Mental Health

Diabetes and Privilege: A Comparative Analysis of Type 2 Diabetes Inequities in Denmark and Finland
I co-wrote this research paper with four classmates during our study abroad semester in Copenhagen. The class, Health Delivery and Prioritization, compared different models of healthcare utilization in several countries. Our final paper specifically examined the Danish and Finnish healthcare systems and how each played a role in diabetes inequities.
Effects of High Fat and High Sugar Diets on Depression Levels in Adolescents in Greenville County: A Longitudinal Analysis

This is a mock-research paper (i.e. no data actually collected) that I co-wrote with three classmates for our Health Sciences Research & Evaluation class. The goal was to show comprehension of the commonly accepted structure for research papers in the Health Sciences field. 

Health Rights as a Privilege: An Analysis of Disparities in the U.S. Healthcare System
This was my final research paper for a class called Health Systems, Services, and Policy Administration. It is a meta-analysis of existing research on health disparities and health equity in the U.S.
