BIO

Epidemiologist, Mexican food addict, dog & plant lover

I’m currently a UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow with the Remais Lab at the University of California, Berkeley. I completed my PhD in Public Health Sciences at University of California, Davis. Over the past ten years, I have participated in a wide variety of research projects exploring health disparities and the health promotion needs of diverse, and historically underserved, communities.

I completed the California Epidemiologic Investigation Service fellowship with the California Department of Public Health in 2019 and previously worked as an Epidemiologist at the California Department of Food & Agriculture’s Antimicrobial Use and Stewardship Program. I have a varied background, but the recurrent theme has been my deep desire to make a difference by addressing health inequities and connecting with people across backgrounds.

When I’m not working, I can be found listening to music, watching the birds in my garden, reading, learning to throw clay, or taking my dog on an adventure.
