I am a public health professional living in Bozeman, MT, and I am excited to submit my application for the Board of Health. I currently work as the Research Lead for
Proyecto SALUD, a research lab based out of MSU's College of Nursing. In my position, I work to dismantle health inequities and disparities with the growing Latino

I am passionate about DEI work, and I am proud of the City of Bozeman has made this work a priority. DEI work is at the core of public health work. I work each day to
make sure that all members of the community have equal access and opportunity to be healthy and well. To expand my understanding of DEI work, I listen to our Latino
community members through our Community Advisory Board, and I volunteer at Bridgercare as an LGBTQ+ Healthcare Trainer to help increase healthcare access for all.
