I am a North American product. I obtained my BA from the University of Guadalajara, Mexico, my MSc and PhD from Queen’s University, Canada, and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Emory University, US. I am an implementation scientist working at the intersection of lifestyle, HIV and cardiometabolic diseases. My work encompasses implementing proven health interventions in real-world settings and developing tools to inform public health and clinical practice. Currently, I am a Scholar within the Research in Implementation Science for Equity (RISE) program at the University of California San Francisco.
