Advancing Maternal Wellness Through Research, Prevention, and Innovation

The future of maternal health will not be shaped by treatment alone. It will be shaped by prevention, original research, and innovations designed to shift the conversation upstream — before crisis moments arise.

Research Foundation

My academic and professional work has consistently pointed toward the same gap: maternal health systems are reactive when the evidence demands prevention. Too many women enter pregnancy with unidentified modifiable risk factors.

My peer-reviewed publication in the European Journal of Health Sciences (April 2025) addresses the role of non-clinical interventions in maternal wellness, contributing to the growing evidence base for upstream preconception care.

Currently developing the PRS Index™ as the foundation of planned doctoral research in Health Behavior Research. The proposed research focus is the development and piloting of a self-administered preconception readiness assessment tool for underserved women in Texas.
