Biography

I currently hold an Associate Professor position at the University of Texas at Arlington. I am a Fulbright scholar with an international reputation. My research focuses on HIV epidemiology, prevention, and implementation. I examine social problems and social conditions to understand the role of cultural, behavioral, and social structures that contribute to disease. I use a cultural lens to explore illness's ontology to design practical intervention tools to address them. My research examines the Intersectionality of how aspects of identities, e.g., gender, sex, race, class sexuality, religion, contribute to poor life outcomes.
