About
I am a first-year Epidemiology PhD student attending the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health at the University of Arizona. My research interests include health disparities, minority health, and women's health issues. I intend to declare a minor in Government and Public Policy with an emphasis on Public Policy and Management.
