Dr. Suzanne “Suzy” Perea Burns is Associate Professor at the University of New Mexico. She received her Ph.D. in Occupational Therapy from Texas Woman’s University, a Master of Occupational Therapy from the University of New Mexico, and a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition/Dietetics from the University of New Mexico. Dr. Burns also completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Dr. Burns’ research has primarily focused on the development, testing, and implementation of mobile health (mHealth) assessments and interventions to improve community living outcomes for people with disability. A second major research focus is on addressing health and participation disparities among racial/ethnic minorities living with the effects of stroke through the development and evaluation of culturally-tailored and technology-enhanced interventions. As a rehabilitation research scientist, she contributes expertise at the intersection of post-stroke disability and community living. Dr. Burns’ contributions have been disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and presentations, service on national boards, mentoring, and successful acquisition of competitive extramural and intramural grants as either PI or Co-I.
