About Erica Phillips
I’m a researcher focused on health disparities and cancer prevention. My work explores how to integrate cancer risk awareness into school science curricula and community settings to support healthier behaviors early in life. I’m passionate about evidence-based teaching, youth advocacy, and translating research into practice that empowers communities.
