About me

I am a population health scientist and postdoctoral research scholar in Epidemiology and Population Health at Stanford Medicine and the Center for Population Health Sciences, working with Dr. David Rehkopf and Dr. Tainayah Thomas. I am also a T32 trainee in the Stanford Medicine Department of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, Gerontology, and Metabolism. I completed my doctoral studies in social epidemiology at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health where my dissertation adviser was Dr. Amani Allen and I was a member of the HEARTS research group.

My research focuses on monitoring chronic disease and aging in the US Multiracial (two or more race) population, conceptualizing and measuring local-level policies that contribute to systemic racism, and approaches to maximize health data equity. I also collaborate with state and local health jurisdictions in California and Hawaii in applied epidemiology and surveillance projects on topics including structural racism, adolescent health, and COVID-19.

I have published first-author papers in JAMA Network Open, the Milbank Quarterly, the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the American Journal of Epidemiology, and Social Sciences and Medicine Population Health. My work was also heavily cited in the 2025 National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine Consensus Report on the use of race and ethnicity in biomedical research.
