Her research leverages quantiative and qualitative methods including natural language processing, network analysis, multidimensional scaling, semi-structured interviews, and thematic interpretive analysis.

She sits on the Clinical Ethics Benchmarking Collaborative data metrics group and is the co-founder (along with Kate Molchan Gordon) of the Clinical Ethics Reporting and Tracking (CERT) System
