Yudilyn is a doctoral student candidate at Rutgers University. Her intended dissertation project is "Barriers and Facilitators Related to Substance Use Disorders and Mental Health Disorders in the Latinx Community and How to Improve Medical Outcomes."
She is one of the co-chairs of Project Synapse, a staff-developed committee whose goal is to respond to staff issues raised in the Yale Psychiatry Department workplace survey. She was one of the co-chairs of the mission statement writing group, the first to write a mission statement for the Yale Psychiatry Department in decades. She is also an active member of the anti-racism task force and staff subcommittee.
