I am a Professor of Psychology with 20 years of postdoctoral research experience focused on understanding psychosocial and sociocultural factors in cardio-metabolic conditions [cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes] and developing and testing culturally appropriate interventions to reduce risk and improve outcomes for these conditions in Hispanics/Latinos. I have served as PI or Co-I for more than 20 NIH grants and have published more than 170 peer reviewed publications. I have been a Co-Investigator (Co-I) for the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) San Diego field center since its initiation, and Co-PI of the San Diego Field Center since 2018. I am Principal Investigator (PI) for the SOL CASAS Ancillary Study of neighborhood environments and cardiometabolic risk and I served as PI for the HCHS/SOL Sociocultural Ancillary Study.
