Dr. King's work in public health has involved community nutrition policy, systems, and environmental intervention development and evaluation.

She is passionate to deepen the courage to dismantle the stigmas of vulnerability.

In the Center for Public Policy & Health, Dr. King is primarily responsible for coordinating its $1.5 million Strategic Prevention Framework grant and building upon existing Center research to grow its reputation nationally and internationally.
