    Collapse Overview
    My research is aimed at improving mental health outcomes and reducing health disparities among Latino/a communities impacted by HIV. My research is based on the principles of sound measurement and assessment, especially of psychological and cultural constructs in English and Spanish. My current research focuses broadly on improving HIV care engagement among English and Spanish-speaking Latinos living with HIV, designing an adaptive mHealth intervention for depression to improve engagement, and optimizing PrEP messaging for uptake among Spanish-speaking trans Latina women.

    I am also committed to serving as a mentor to bilingual undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and medical students who are interested in health disparities and mental health intervention research as ways to serve the Latino/a community.
