Maya is a research assistant and focuses on recruiting patients in English and Spanish. In addition to working with ANCHOR, Maya spends her time waiting tables at a fancy French restaurant and writing articles advocating for LGBTQIA+ rights. She studied Sociology and International Affairs at Northeastern University and will be pursuing a dual Master’s in Public Health and International Affairs at Columbia University next fall. Maya is interested in studying social determinants of health on a global scale and hopes to conduct research in her home country of Argentina upon finishing her Master’s.
In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the ANCHOR study team has advised local site staff to contact ANCHOR participants who are scheduled to be seen in the next 4 weeks about whether they should come in for their appointment. If you do not hear from your site’s study staff, please reach out to them. If you are waiting to be screened for the ANCHOR study, please be patient- we WILL see you as soon as we possibly can, once it is safe to do so. In the meantime, please contact your local ANCHOR site if you have any questions or concerns.
