She is particularly interested in human rights issues, cross-cultural ethics, humanitarian aid/intervention, globalization, health-care access and disparity, physician-patient relationship, minority care experience, decision-making models, and various concepts of autonomy.

She is also working with the American Refugee Committee and Dr. Carol Pavlish (UCLA) on an interdisciplinary and collaborative project on human rights and gender-based violence in Rwanda and South Sudan.
