ABOUT ME

I am a substance use researcher in the Section on Tobacco, Alcohol, and Drug Use in the Department of Population Health at New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine. My research addresses three priority public health areas: 1) polysubstance use (including co-use of opioids and stimulants); 2) substance use and health disparities of justice-involved populations; and 3) substance use-related health outcomes in rural and vulnerable populations. I am currently supported by a K01 career development award to develop a novel assessment tool to measure polysubstance use among vulnerable populations.

RECENT SUCCESS

In February of 2023, I received an NIH HEAL Trailblazer Award. This award recognizes HEAL-funded researchers in the early to middle stages of their careers, across all disciplines, who are applying an innovative approach or creativity in research or are expanding HEAL research into addressing the pain and opioid crisis in new directions.
