Google Scholar Profile
​American University Profile
My professional interests are in identifying the mechanisms that link social and structural conditions to health disparities and in designing community-based interventions to improve health among vulnerable groups. My expertise is in HIV prevention for young adults and Latino immigrants, with a substantive focus on the role of social networks in health. I have published my research in prestigious journals, including Social Science and Medicine, AIDS and Behavior, Global Public Health, PLOS NTDs (on field research findings from the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone), and Sociological Methods and Research. I often involve students in my research, and teach global health at the undergraduate level and program planning at the Master's level.
