Dr. Keeton is a postdoctoral research fellow with the UCSF Preterm Birth Initiative and is working with the Weiss lab in the areas of maternal stress and social needs and their impact on maternal-child health. She completed her PhD in Nursing Science and Healthcare Leadership at the University of California, Davis, Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, and her MS in Nursing at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Keeton’s dissertation research explored associations between household social needs, maternal stress, and child emotional health, in Latinx families in San Francisco. Her previous clinical focus as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner was in urban community pediatric primary care, with emphases on childhood overweight, school-based health care, and social determinants of health. As a postdoctoral fellow, Victoria hopes to expand her research on biomarkers of stress in mothers and children of color experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage, as they relate to adverse birth and other health outcomes.
