Summary
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Population Health at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. My work focuses on advancing cancer and chronic disease prevention through community-informed research. I examine how social drivers of health and broader contextual factors shape health behaviors and use mixed methods and implementation science to design interventions that are practical, responsive, and sustainable in real-world community and clinical settings.
