Bilingual (English & Spanish)
I am a balanced bilingual/bicultural Mexican-American who grew up in "Ambos Nogales," a small bordertown with Arizona/Sonora. As the founding director of the UCLA Cultural Neuropsychology Initiative (CNI), I oversee a comprehensive bilingual neurocognitive and psychodiagnostic assessment service; a neuropsychology training program for the next generation of bilingual practicum, internship, and postdoctoral students; and an evolving health disparities research program. I also conduct forensic bilingual and monolingual Spanish assessments, and have written on the emerging discipline of cultural neuropsychology.
