Galveston, Texas, United States
I am a Professor in the Department of Population Health and Health Disparities at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Assistant Dean for Doctorate Foundational Curriculum, director of Rehabilitation Sciences Graduate Program and a senior fellow of the Sealy Center on Aging. I have more than 20 years of experience in conducting research in Hispanic older adults, with emphasis on older Mexican Americans. Her research examines health outcomes using large datasets focusing on functional outcomes, muscle strength, disability, frailty, and health disparities in older adults. I have mentored over 50 graduate students (MS and PhD), medical students, fellows, visiting scholars, and junior faculties.
