Postdoctoral Research Associate
UW Madison
Hannah Fry is a postdoctoral fellow with the Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training: Employment grant through the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research. Dr. Fry’s research aims to understand the role of work in the lives of people with cancer and their caregivers. Relatedly, she seeks to understand other aspects of life with cancer and psychosocial adaptation to cancer and how positive psychological constructs, including self-efficacy, meaning and purpose, and posttraumatic growth, influence them. Particularly, Dr. Fry is interested in the vocational and rehabilitation needs and strengths of those whose primary language is Spanish to promote health equity. To address these research areas, she employs multiple methods incorporating community-centered collaborative research, analysis of national datasets, and survey research. She has authored four peer-reviewed publications (one first-authored), three papers accepted for publication (two first-authored), two papers under review (two first-authored), one book chapter, and empirical papers in progress. She has contributed to 17 conference papers, posters, and other invited talks and presentations. She served as the student representative for the National Council on Rehabilitation Education during her three years as a doctoral student. As primary instructor, she has taught seven courses, a combination of undergraduate and graduate level rehabilitation psychology and rehabilitation counseling courses. She served as an adjunct faculty for Mount Mary University’s master’s level rehabilitation counseling program. She has four years of clinical experience supporting the psychosocial needs of people with cancer and their loved ones.
