    I worked on clinical research projects relating to breast cancer. Tasks included participant recruitment, interviews, paper write-up, qualitative coding, and others. The first project I worked on involved medication adherence in patients with comorbid diabetes and breast cancer and the next assessed distress in metastatic breast cancer patients and whether levels varied across racial and ethnic groups. Most recently I worked on the beginning stages of an intervention model to introduce navigators for increased support.
