Migration Health Research Area/Expertise
I first began my career by helping refugees, immigrants and migrant agricultural laborers gain access to health insurance and medical care through the Legal Aid system in central Virginia and New York City. I have conducted research on migration and health at the World Health Organization, the Johns Hopkins Center for Humanitarian Health, the International Rescue Committee and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. I am currently working as an epidemiology consultant investigating Chronic Kidney Disease of Undetermined Causes (CKDu) affecting agricultural migrants in Latin America. I recently graduated with my MPH from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in 2018.
