Thesis: My doctoral research is part of the CapaCITY/É research program, a multi-city initiative focused on supporting healthier, safer, and more equitable transportation systems.

Research Interests Having a background as a physician in Mexico and an Msc in Community and Population Health Sciences from the University of Saskatchewan, my main research interests include population health, health equity, transportation systems, health promotion, physical activity, mental health, and well-being in urban environments. Throughout this PhD, I hope to further explore the roles that cities play in shaping population health, and how we as researchers can improve health at the population level while integrating equity at every step. My future goals are to contribute to research and policy that help create more inclusive, sustainable, and health-promoting cities. 

Fun fact about you: I love pets and have 4 dogs and 2 cats back home in Mexico! I also enjoy going to concerts, running, and cooking
