Milagros Garrido-Fishbein

Something you do to strengthen your practice:I try to stay in the loop on current best practices in the field, while also reviewing new and innovative research.  In addition, I find feedback an essential part of refining and improving my practice.

A person/experience that has inspired you:
One of the most influential experiences of my life was the time I spent serving as an advocate for youth living in a sprawling pueblo joven in my hometown of Arequipa, Peru.  During this time, I witnessed both the struggle and resilience of young people in challenging situations.   Working closely with these youth inspired me to work in the field of HIV/Teen Pregnancy prevention.

Interesting/fun fact about yourself:
I am a culinary adventurer.  Some of my most wild meals have included: monkey brains, tarantula, and grub worms.  Who wants to meet up for lunch?
