I think of research as a bridge connecting communities with data-driven, quality clinical care.
I am an Assistant Professor in Health Disparities and Multicultural Mental Health with dual affiliation at the PRIME Center for Health Equity at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Health Equity Research Lab at Harvard Medical School. I’m also a faculty investigator with the NIH-funded Einstein-Rockefeller-CUNY Center for AIDS Research and Adjunct Assistant Professor at Columbia University.
My research aims to identify strategies to promote LGBTQIA+ health and healthcare equity.
