I am an ethnobotanist based in New York City. I am conducting ethnomedical research in New York City and the Dominican Republic into plants that are used by Dominicans to treat common health conditions. I am also collaborating with traditional healers in the Bolivian Amazon to improve healthcare of indigenous communities.
Soy etnobotanica, ubicada en la Ciudad de Neuva York. Estoy haciendo una investigacion etnomedica en Nueva York y la Republica Dominicana para conocer las plantas que usan los Dominicanos para tratar las enfermedades comunes. Tambien estoy colaborando con medicos tradicionales en la selva Boliviana para mejorar la salud de las comunidades indigenas. |
