About

I graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in Sociology and a B.A. in Anthropology. Both majors have strengthened my writing and taught me to analyze data efficiently. I attended Berkeley City College (BCC), obtaining an A.A. in Liberal Arts: Social and Behavioral Sciences, A.A-T in Sociology, and an A.A-T in Psychology. I am very interested in research and have multiple publications. I was a Research Assistant at the Heart Equity & Access Research Treatment (HEART) Lab. I am a Senior Research Associate and Director of Public Relations at The National Library of Patient Rights and Advocacy. Also, I am an intern at Well Suited and a Substitute Teacher.
