I am an engaged anthropologist with a professional background in public health and community mental health whose research and teaching lies in two primary areas: transnational migration and global mental health. At the UO, where I have held a faculty position since 2012, I worked with students and faculty to launch the UO Global Health Initiative in 2015, which involves our Global Health Minor and the Center for Global Health. I am affiliated faculty with the Department of Anthropology, the Disability Studies program, and the Center for the Study of Women in Society; I also serve on the Steering Committee for the UO Dreamers Working Group. In the community, I volunteer with a number of migrant-serving and immigrant rights organizations, including the Refugee Resettlement Coalition of Lane County, Centro Latino Americano, and Innovation Law Lab; I also serve on the Public Health Advisory Committee to the Lane County Board of Health. As a publicly-engaged scholar, I draw on my community engagements to foster research collaborations and to open professional opportunities for my students.
