I was born and raised in the beautiful Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago. My experience working in limited-resource and high-resource settings has guided my research interests. My research program is therfore united by a commitment to addressing disparities in breast cancer incidence and outcomes through a comprehensive approach that combines computational methods, community engagement, and health policy analysis. By focusing on the continuum of care—from understanding risk factors to improving access to treatment and assessing economic implications—I aim to bridge gaps in precision health and promote health equity globally. My research program has three key areas:

1. Understanding Environmental Drivers of Breast Cancer Risk. We aim to investigate how cumulative environmental exposures at work and at home contribute to disparities in breast cancer risk using machine learning.

2. Economic Implications of Breast Cancer Screening. We aim to analyze the costs of different age-based and risk-based breast cancer screening algorithms in the USA to inform policy and ensure sustainable, equitable screening interventions.

3. Implement Programs and Tools to Reduce Cancer Treatment Disparities in the Caribbean. We aim to implement and evaluate cancer patient navigation, and diagnostic AI tools to improve cancer management. This research is done through the Caribbean Cancer Research Institute, an NGO I founded in 2016, and in collaboration with various hospitals and NGOs in the Caribbean.
