What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead collaborative, equity-focused public health research and community-led interventions that translate rigorous evidence into measurable, sustainable change.

At Ponce Health Sciences University, I coordinate community-engaged research projects, aligning cross-functional teams, timelines, budgets, documentation, and stakeholder communication to deliver rigorous public health work.

I've supported community-based participatory research training and community-led projects, developed curricula and research proposals, analyzed survey and evaluation data, and contributed to reports and manuscripts. I bring eight years of experience advancing evidence-based approaches to health disparities, chronic disease, and mental health outcomes.
