Research
I am particularly interested in harm reduction organizations, healthcare settings, as well as the bio/necropolitical apparatuses surrounding the management of drug users. Prior to becoming a graduate student at UCLA, I worked as an outreach worker conducting street-based syringe exchange services, overdose prevention, and safer drug use education throughout the Bronx, Manhattan, and Brooklyn.
