The research that I have done on the Pocket Colposcope has been one of the most meaningful aspects of my time at Duke. In contributing to the global value chain analysis, I have been able to work on a project that will have a tangible and monumental impact on people, while also merging my interests in global health and biomedical engineering.

My teammates come from a diversity of academic backgrounds, and the different perspectives that each member brings to the table have been critical in approaching the complex and interdisciplinary challenge of increasing the adoption of the Pocket Colposcope in Peru.
