I am passionate about advancing equitable mental health care for children and adolescents through community-based participatory research (CBPR), implementation science, and culturally responsive interventions for immigrant and refugee youth. My long-term goal is to pursue a tenure-track faculty position at a research institution where I can integrate research, clinical practice, mentorship, and community partnerships.

I grew up in Miami but spent several years living in Minnesota, so I've experienced both tropical beaches and subzero winters.
