She completed a National Institute of Child Health and Development (NICHD) postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago's Population Research Center in 2002, she entered the Robert Wood Johnson Health & Society Scholars Program at Harvard University in 2004. She is currently on leave from a faculty position at the Ohio State University's department of Sociology to take part in the program. Her research to date has focused on examining how demographic outcomes are influenced by the migration process, with specific attention given to the case of the U.S.-Mexico migration flow. Her most recent work has focused on the role of changing immigrant settlement patterns and different social contexts in contributing to the health and health-risk behaviors of first-, second- and later-generations of immigrant youth in the U.S. She also continues to be interested in exploring the challenges facing current and future research on race, genetics and medicine.
