Shenae is a research scientist with an expertise in health policy research focused on addressing health disparities and access to care issues among vulnerable populations. Her passion for the work of FHJP stems from the premise that everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic background, deserves access to quality and affordable health care. Her prior research experiences include the Florida Medicaid Reform Evaluation Project, the CDC-funded Florida Office on Disability and Health’s Right To Know Campaign, and the University of Florida Health Disparities and Research Intervention Program. Her research with the Florida Medicaid Reform Evaluation Project led to a co-authorship of the Medicaid Program Flexibility counterpoint in the book, “Debates on U.S. Health Care.” Her doctoral dissertation examined the impact of state Medicaid expansion on access to care and utilization among individuals with ambulatory care sensitive conditions.
