Biography

I am currently involved with the Free Medical Clinic and Open Heartland, working to improve the health of Latino populations. I helped start a clinic to increase access to contraception at the FMC and I am currently running a Women's Wellness clinic at OH that focuses on various health topics and helps teach women how to talk to other women in their community about health and their environment. I am working to create a learning immersion experience for students in Latin America. I'm collaborating with colleagues at the University to include environmental health sciences in holistic health teaching and to provide more culturally appropriate learning tools within the health topic education sessions.
