  Worked with Dr. Amy Leader on projects including: Viral Hepatitis, HIV/AIDs, and HPV Health Knowledge/Education. Around the time when the Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine was approved for males, I began working with Dr. Leader on her research to understand the knowledge of adolescents and their guardians regarding HPV. Since the vaccine had previously only been available to a female population, we were eager to understand and identify any barriers that male populations would have toward HPV vaccination and prevention. I helped to run focus group and follow-up sessions to those focus groups as well as intervention programs to learn what Philadelphia adolescents and their care-givers knew about HPV and its prevention. Our work was meant to build a foundation upon which future programs could be specifically tailored to address the barriers we identified
