I am queer and nonbinary and I am a public health researcher.//
Hi y’all!
I’m a doctoral student in the Joint Doctoral Program in Public Health at San Diego State University and UC San Diego. I am originally from Florida where I received my BS in chemistry and an MPH in public health education. I’m also Certified in Public Health and a Certified Health Education Specialist. My current research focuses on disparities in substance use and sexual health outcomes among adolescents, primarily using participatory approaches. I work with Drs. Jerel Calzo & Jennifer Felner in the Action Research on Community Health Equity and Stigma Lab at San Diego State University.
While I’ve always had interests in STEM, I truly found my passion for LGBTQ+ health & health disparities research during my bachelor’s when I worked on LGBTQ+ programming and completed an internship at a community-based organization’s HIV prevention program.
Looking forward to connecting and collaborating!
