As a biocultural and medical anthropologist, I am broadly interested in the biological underpinnings of health disparities. My current research focuses on intergenerational trauma in the Latin American migrant community living in Connecticut. As an M.D./Ph.D. student, I aim to engage my clinical and anthropological training to better understand health outcomes for marginalized populations.
