My Story

Focused on Understanding

Growing up in California's Central Valley, my Cuban & Salvadoran parents raised me to be curious, empathetic, and socially conscious.

Not long ago, I returned to school after a successful career in community health to complete what I began years prior. My research has progressed into new projects focused on rural unincorporated America, including public health and government policy.

I invite you to look at my published work to better understand my research.
