Daniel Suarez-Baquero
Assistant Professor
Child, Family, and Population Health Nursing
Assistant Professor
I am originally from Colombia, where I earned my MSN and BSN from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, focusing on Maternal and Perinatal Nursing Care. My expertise includes roles as a labor and birth nurse, nurse midwife, and nurse administrator. I obtained my Ph.D. in Nursing from The University of Texas at Austin, where I studied Colombian Partería Tradicional (lay midwifery).
I completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the ACTIONS program at The University of California, San Francisco, with a focus on reproductive justice as the primary approach to reproductive health services provision. Since my undergraduate studies, I have developed a deep passion for qualitative research methods, particularly in the areas of reproductive justice, Latine reproductive health experiences, and community/cultural memory of ethnic minoritized women. I utilize advanced qualitative methods to elevate the voices of minoritized communities that have been overlooked, aiming to promote health, birth equity, and reproductive justice globally.
