Summary

 

I am currently a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. My public health research seeks to provide an in-depth comprehension of aging, sleep health issues,  biomarkers, early onset cognitive decline, (i.e., subjective cognitive decline) mediated by social determinants of health (SDOH) in racial and ethnic groups, especially Africans- Caribbeans- Americans.

I am also committed to developing recruitment and retention strategies for clinical and community health research and the decision making process for physical, mental, cognitive and brain health screening (i.e. sleep and cognitive decline) for Caribbean and African Americans, especially to improve brain and cognitive related health at the national and international level.
