• Surgical preparedness and training standards
• Economic analyses of urogynecologic treatments
• Cross-cultural perspectives on reproductive health
• Biologic graft durability in prolapse repairs

Her research consistently emphasizes patient-centered outcomes, with a focus on improving quality of life metrics post-surgery and optimizing healthcare access for marginalized populations.
