Highlights

My Program of research is STELLAR . I have a primary focus in leading research on exploring risks for stillbirth during pregnancy and raising awareness of stillbirth for clinicians; the pregnant woman and her family; educators and curricula; decision-makers and policy makers; and society generally.

I also am interested in women's health more generally including perinatal mental health and pregnancy outcome
