Short Bio: 

Dr. Guy is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Arizona Cancer Center R25T Cancer Prevention and Control Fellowship Program. She received her PhD in Higher Education and Social Theory at the University of Arizona in 2009. Her prior academic appointments include instructor in the Africana Studies Program and Assistant Research Scientist in the Center for Health Outcomes and PharmacoEconomic Research at the University of Arizona. Mirroring her work in education, ethnic studies, and health sciences, Dr. Guy’s research interests focus on the relationship between social inequalities and cancer health disparities; namely, socio-cultural, environmental factors and institutional practices that present barriers to health service access and quality, as well as to the prevention and treatment of cancer. Currently, she is a Health Disparities Scholar for the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD).
