INTRODUCTION
I am a faculty member in the Health Science Program. I have
conducted research in the area of occupational health and exposure assessment
since 1992. I have worked on a number of projects as an industrial hygiene
consultant including a study of workplace health and safety conditions in Maquiladoras located along the U.S.-Mexican border. I worked as an Industrial Hygiene and Safety Specialist in
private industry.
TEACHING INTERESTS
I am interested in teaching courses in the field of Environmental Health Sciences. My goal in any course I teach is to stimulate in the students the interest I have in the topic.
CURRENT RESEARCH
My research interest lies in evaluating human exposures to environmental contaminants in vulnerable populations such as working populations, children and women of childbearing age.
Such exposure data may be used to develop intervention strategies, such as
pollution prevention strategies, in order to reduce exposures and the associated
human morbidity/mortality.
My current research project is entitled "Community Partnership for
Environmental Health".
This study addresses environmental hazards that impact children's health in a
low-income public housing community. A Community Based Participatory Research
approach is utilized to 1)Identify environmental hazards to children's health as
perceived by the community; 2)Identify one hazard regarded as high-priority by
the community and generate a culturally-tailored and practical plan of action
for mitigating or minimizing exposure of children to the hazard; 3)Identify
available and practical local resources that can be used by the community to
implement the plan of action and; 4)in an educational forum, disseminate
information about identified environmental hazards and culturally sensitive and
practical strategies to minimize health risks to children.
My doctoral dissertation was titled "The Particle Size Distribution and Speciation of Chromium in Paint Spray Aerosol".
This research involved size-distribution sampling and
analysis of aerosol potentially inhaled by painters in the aerospace
industry.
