Suzanne received a PhD in anthropology from the University of Florida in 2009 with a specialization in medical anthropology, and in 2002 she received a MSPH from the University of South Florida with a concentration in tropical and communicable diseases. Through her research, she seeks to gain a better understanding of the social determinants of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that produce health disparities.
