Research & Expertise
My experience within the field of migration health bridges various disciplines and encompasses multiple levels of engagement: from interacting with migrants themselves through conducting primary research on the health of Bolivian migrants in Buenos Aires, Latino migrants in North Carolina, and migrants in the UK, to working with the multilateral migration organization IOM and multidisciplinary research groups such as the UCL-Lancet Commission on Migration and Health. Within these roles, I engaged with a diverse array of stakeholders and learned the importance of multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives within migration health research and policy formation. Currently, I am a research assistant at UCL working on migrant health within the UK exploring causes of migrant morbidity and larger social/environmental determinants of migrant health.
