community-based participatory research methods, implementation and
dissemination science. My research focuses on examining cancer and
cardiovascular disease disparities in communities of color and methods to
increase research participation in communities of color.
Random facts: " I enjoy pretending to be a runner and hope to complete my first marathon in the next few years. I am addicted to BBC and the Song of Ice and Fire Series."

Heather Page Eaddy, MA. Ph.D.(c):
I am a doctoral candidate in Clinical-Community Psychology and I am a graduate certificate student in Women and Gender’s Studies at the University of South Carolina. My broad research interests primarily involve examining the biopsychosocial determinants of stress and depression in African American females and creating evidence-based programming for minority populations. My dissertation will focus on understanding intricacies of stress processes by examining the relationship between stress trajectories, contexts, and the occurrence and course of major depression in midlife African American women. I am also very passionate about clinical and community work and have actively sought out opportunities to gain experiences working with youth and families in a variety of settings. In the community, I often work with youth facing a multitude of familial and community challenges by providing mentorship and creating opportunities for youth to learn invaluable to skills to help them thrive in their environments.
Fun Facts: “In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, playing board games, and watching movies.”
