I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in MA and FL, and a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) / Harvard Medical School. I am also a Clinical Fellow at MGH in the Behavioral Medicine Program of the Department of Psychiatry. Lastly, I am a Post-Doctoral Fellow at The Brigham and Women's Hospital in the Department of Emergency Medicine. I completed my PhD in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Health Psychology and Behavioral Medicine, as well as a concentration in quantitative psychology from the University of Miami. I completed by clinical internship (equivalent of residency) at Massachusetts General Hospital / Harvard Medical School. My research focuses on better understanding the complex interrelationships of co-occurring psychosocial and structural epidemics that interact synergistically (i.e., syndemics) and their syndemic effects on infectious disease (HIV, TB, etc.) treatment and prevention outcomes both in the US and in resource-limited settings around the world (e.g., South Africa and Zimbabwe) via the use of innovative technological and statistical approaches to measurement and analysis.My dissertation research was funded by an NIMH NRSA Training Grant (F31MH122279) to explore syndemic factors associated with HIV treatment outcomes in South Africa.
