Collaborative Interests
"Public health, by its very nature, is an interdisciplinary and collaborative enterprise. Tackling some of the pressing issues that affect Latino and immigrant populations requires a transdisciplinary approach that brings together behavioral and social sciences, economics, public policy, demography, law, as well as medicine and public health. In my specific line of research, I look to engage with sociologists, demographers, and psychologists to understand the social determinants and proximate factors that influence Latino children and adolescents development – particularly those in emerging immigrant communities."
