11/18/2020 // Happy Wednesday! Now introducing a long time member of our team, Natasha!

Hi! My name is Natasha (she/her), and I graduated from Brown this past spring. I’m currently working with the team remotely, since I just started my Master of Public Health at the University of Toronto this fall. On the team, I work on manuscript writing, coordinate the study’s community advisory board, and help run our social media accounts. Outside of research, I enjoy listening to podcasts and giving my dog bad haircuts :)

Hello! My name is Gaby (she/her) and I am from Chicago, Illinois. I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences, Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies (CAAS) at Brown University's School of Public Health. My research focuses on the intersection of alcohol use and sexual victimization among sexual and racial/ethnic minority women. During my free time I enjoy hiking, trying new restaurants, and playing with my dog, Macarena.
