(they/she)

I am a reconnecting Taíno, and my family is from Borikén (also known as Puerto Rico). I am a first-year MPH student with a concentration in Environmental Health at UB. My research interests are centered around water pollution, water contamination, and toxin exposures’ impact on infant and maternal health—focusing on one health and climate change. I have experience with the analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data, statistical methods (using Minitab), community-based organizing/advocacy, and public health marketing.
