Biography

I am a Clinical Scholar in Nephrology currently completing my nephrology fellowship and working towards a Master of Science in Clinical Research Epidemiology. My postdoctoral research focuses on environmental risk factors and healthcare barriers that initiate and accelerate the development and progression of kidney disease. My goal is to reach disadvantaged populations and help reduce health disparities stemming from vulnerability to detrimental environmental exposures. My projects have included investigating chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology, with particular interest in California’s Central Valley.
