Research Interests
My main research interest involves diet’s role in chronic diseases and psychiatric disorders. This interest spiked when I started working on a study which evaluated the dietary impact of the Comprando Rico y Sano (CRS) educational program administered to Mexican immigrants in the South Bronx. The study aimed to quantify vegetable intake as well as describe barriers impeding adherence to the program’s recommendations. Barriers included but were not limited to migration status, household composition, and living conditions. During my time on the study and as a MS Biostatistics candidate, at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, I have come to realize the detriments and controversies of nutrition.
