With a background in nursing, I have over 7 years working in human subjects’ research experience most of which was in a supervisory role that oversaw a clinical research coordinator team. My work has focused on studies exploring environmentally-mediated health outcomes, particularly within Hispanic/Latinx communities in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA, and Yakima Valley, WA, with an emphasis on prenatal and early to middle childhood populations. My research interests focus on how the built and social environments of neighborhoods impact early childhood health outcomes and influence children's ability to thrive throughout their life course.
