Bailey Maxwell

Biography

I am a senior at the University of Wisconsin–Madison majoring in Neurobiology with a certificate in Promoting Activity for Diverse Abilities. I recently joined Dr. Sheng’s research team to support the implementation of the CARE program, which provides culturally informed breast cancer education to cohorts of Asian women. In this role, I assist with organizing and facilitating in person educational sessions, helping ensure they run smoothly and meaningfully for participants. My involvement in this project aligns deeply with my passions for women’s health, culturally responsive care, and addressing disparities in patient experiences. These interests motivate my long term goal of attending medical school and pursuing a career in obstetrics and gynecology. Working with Dr. Sheng has allowed me to expand my understanding of community-based research and the ways culturally tailored health education can promote equity in outcomes for women. In my free time, I enjoy weightlifting (and serve as vice president of a women’s weightlifting club), exploring new coffee shops, enjoying nice weather, shopping, and sharing quality time with friends and family.
