Research Interests
My research involves public health issues, specifically environmental health.  I am currently collaborating with the Lehigh Valley Hospital Community Health Department on research involving pediatric asthma in the Latino population, where I am looking at language and cultural barriers to health care and designing intervention programs to address them.  I am also very interested in the effects of food production on environmental health where I am looking at farming practices and their impact on the environment and human health.  I encourage students who are interested in working on public health projects or who are interested in a career in public health to contact me.
