My research focuses on women’s occupational health and environmental exposures. For my Master’s Thesis, I am working with the Women Workers Biomonitoring Collaborative to look at polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolite measurements in a cohort of female firefighters from the San Francisco Fire Department. We are interested to see how potentially carcinogenic PAHs associated with fire interact in the body after a fire-suppression event over time. Our goal is to improve the occupational health of this community.
