I am an Assistant Professor in the Public Health Department at SUNY Old Westbury. My background is in human-environment geography, with a focus on health, environment, social medicine, and justice in urban Latin America and the U.S. I completed my Ph.D. and M.A. in Geography at Ohio State in 2016 and 2010, respectively.
