“My research contributes to effective intervention and prevention programs that will lessen and ultimately eradicate health disparities among the Latinx population. Much of my work aims at reducing the broader disparity gaps that burden people in the Latinx community. These are people who experience overlapping vulnerabilities as people of color who are undocumented and often exposed to an elevated risk for disease and injury related to their occupations.”
