My primary research interest is the study of racial and socioeconomic disparities in diabetes outcomes. I am particularly interested in medication adherence among vulnerable populations and exploring “real-world” sustainable approaches to improve medication-taking behavior. My current research includes an investigation of the role of primary language in medication adherence, medication intensification, and insulin initiation among Latino patients with diabetes. I currently hold an academic appointment as an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine/Health Services Research at the David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I received an A.B. in Human Biology from Brown University, an M.D. from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and an M.S. in Health Services from UCLA.
