As a behavioral scientist, my research focuses on community-engaged approaches that promote the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based strategies to support healthy behaviors across the lifespan.
I conduct epidemiological research exploring behavioral determinants of obesity, cardiometabolic health, and related comorbidities. A core passion of mine is addressing and eliminating health disparities to ensure everyone—regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender—has the opportunity to live a healthy and fulfilling life.
My work bridges scientific inquiry and real-world impact, translating research into practical, equitable solutions for improved health outcomes.
