You see the Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys/ They ain't gonna fight no wars.
Just a little this and that about me, life, and my work.
Hello everyone,
Welcome to my small website. I am research faculty at Florida State University, College of Medicine. I work within the Center for Translational Behavioral Science (CTBScience). My academic background is in public health, specifically health policy and management. My current work focuses on implementing and sustaining interventions in clinical care settings focused on American youth at risk for HIV. The ongoing career journey is great so far!

You may also access my other academic work via the below links. In recent years, there have been efforts to create social media networks for academics to connect and network with each other. The jury is still out on which of the numerous indexing and profiling sites are the best. Still, I provide links to some of the more popular ones, so click away and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.
Google Scholar
This is a freely accessible web search engine that indexes the full text or metadata of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines. In recent years, individual researchers have been able to create Scholar Citations profiles. You may access my profile below.
ResearchGate
ResearchGate is a social networking site for scientists and researchers to share papers, ask and answer questions, and find collaborators. You may access my profile below.
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID)
Per their mission, ORCID is “a global, not-for-profit organization sustained by fees from our member organizations.” Furthermore, it envisions a world where “all who participate in research, scholarship, and innovation are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions across disciplines, borders, and time.” You may view the public version of my ORCID record below.
SCOPUS
Scopus is Elsevier’s abstract and citation database launched in 2004. Similar to Google Scholar, Scopus offers researchers the opportunity to create and edit profiles covering affiliations, publications, bibliographic data, references, and other publication-related material. You may view the public version of my SCOPUS profile below.
