Research Interests
I am a neonatal nurse practitioner at Tampa General Hospital and Inova Children's Hospital. I am an assistant professor and the assistant director of the Biobehavioral Lab at the University of South Florida College of Nursing. I study the effects of microbiota perturbations on health, disease, and response to therapy. I am especially interested in long-term health outcomes associated the microbiome during development. I am also interested in methods to statistically analyze biologic measures in conjunction with social determinants of health to improve health equity, and the microbiome and host immune interactions.
