I'm a doctorate student in Health promotion and health education, with a minor in epidemiology, at Uthealth in Houston, School of Public Health. I'm currently working on my dissertation proposal and looking forward to my defense in January 2026. My research interests include vascular Ehlers Danlos syndrome, e-cigarettes and tobacco prevention, aging, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. I love to read, help others, and spend time with my family.
