Her professional background encompasses work experiences in the areas of sexual and reproductive health, community development, and intimate partner violence in national and international settings. Her career goal is to promote social, economic, and environmental justice; improve the quality and effectiveness of social programs and services; and infuse a multicultural perspective as a dedicated teacher, a productive researcher, and an engaged social worker in the community.
