Research and Teaching Interests
I am an interdisciplinary scholar and research the experiences of Latina/o/x students and Students of Color as they navigate transitions along the higher education pipeline. I use critical race and Chicana feminist theories to examine educational (in)equities and develop additive policies and practices.
