    Clinical Scholar, Medicine - Nephrology
    Postdoctoral Scholar, Nephrology

    BioI am currently in my second year of nephrology fellowship, working on a Masters in clinical research and epidemiology, and also doing postdoctoral research on a U2C-TL1. During my training I have worked on clinical research focused on environmental risk factors and health care barriers that can initiate or accelerate the development and progression of kidney disease. My goal is to reach disadvantaged populations and help reduce the gaps in health that may stem from their vulnerability to determinantal environmental exposures. My projects have included investigating chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology, with particular interest in California’s Central Valley.
