Biography
I am a Psychiatry Resident at Yale University, with clinical experiences in Brazil and the U.S. After medical school, I completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Stanford University Center for Clinical Research, where I studied shared decision-making and disparities. There, I was awarded for achievements in clinical trial equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Now at Yale, my interests lie at the intersection of addiction psychiatry and chronic pain. I am a part of the Pain and Addiction Interaction Neurosciences (PAIN) Laboratory, where we research pharmacological treatments for patients with chronic pain and substance use disorders. I am particularly interested in how health-care disparities affect pain management for persons living with addiction disorders. For my work, I received awards from the National Institute on Drug and Alcohol and the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry. Most recently, I was selected for the Leadership Fellowship of the American Psychiatric Association Foundation.
I have an additional passion for medical education and mentoring, and I was awarded the departmental Resident Teaching Award in 2023.
