She has a strong interest in health policy, and doing community-engaged research to assist in developing accessible, equity-seeking healthcare practices and programs. Her passion for these areas were shaped during her time collaborating with McMaster students and the City of Hamilton as a part of CityLAB on an affordable housing project, working in long-term care, and in family medicine and allergy-immunology research settings.

Eunice’s graduate research is investigating the gaps in long-term care facilities’ infection prevention and control policies since the COVID-19 pandemic, based on factors including geographic location, demographic makeup, and socioeconomic status of surrounding communities.
