Biography
I joined Drexel after spending eleven years as a researcher and lecturer at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Prior to that, I lived and worked in New York City, Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and Madrid, Spain, where I worked briefly as a primary care doctor. I was born in a Spanish colony in Africa. A job at the World Health Organization headquarters in Washington, D.C. brought me to the United States, where I have been living since 1989.
