Currently, I am interning as a research assistant for a professor at Texas State University. The project researches cancer health disparities among breast cancer survivors who identify as Latino or black. The project is focused on women who can be categorized as intersectional due to their overlapping social identities, therefor making it a rich and complex study.
Since the research project is aiming to answer multiple questions, I have utilized both my quantitative and qualitative research skills. Not only have I been able to exercise my abilities, I have learned to synthesize both research methods enable to see the bigger picture.
Aside from analyzing information, I also assist with data collection. I have created a survey, which will be used as a tool to gather additional information.
In addition to the research, I assist the primary investigator with administrative tasks. The administrative tasks I assist with pertain to getting the research project officially launched; we are currently gathering data and information to send to the Institutional Review Board.
