INVEST visitor: Daisy H. Alberto

In the “INVEST visitors” series, we present visiting professors and fellows who have arrived at the flagship INVEST. This time we are introducing faculty member Daisy H. Alberto.

I am Daisy Huelva Alberto, RN, MAN, PhD. I have been a faculty member of the De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute for twenty years.

I taught maternal and child nursing prior to teaching research and gerontology nursing. My Master of Arts in Nursing was focused on Maternal and Child Nursing while my PhD was Counseling Psychology. I also have PhD units in Doctor of Science in Nursing focusing on Gerontology Nursing. I was the former Associate Director of then, Center for Academic Health Sciences Research, and the Concurrent Chair of Research and Development of the College of Nursing. I am a fertility awareness trainer. My research priorities are Mental Health, Fertility and Sexuality, and Gerontology.

Why did you want to visit INVEST?

I intend to work/collaborate with the GCAMHS team on Adolescent Mental Health.

What you want to reach during your visit in INVEST?

I expect that I can learn from this fellowship which I can bring back home and somehow bring change. Likewise, I hope I can also share my knowledge and skills to the best of my ability.
