Bio

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) gerontologist focused on the epidemiology of aging. I serve as the Associate Core Lead for the Outreach Recruitment and Engagement Core of the Duke-UNC Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. My work with the ADRC centers in building trust with the community and reaching historically marginalized populations. My research focuses on environmental factors that may influence cognitive function, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Research topics of interest include: the exposome, environmental exposures such as pesticides and other chemicals, social determinants of health, traumatic brain injuries, metabolic biomarkers, resilience, and cognitive training.
