I am a Social Ecology doctoral candidate, currently writing my dissertation on IPV in rural Mexico. I transferred into the Social Ecology PhD program in the fall of 2019 after spending two years in the Department of Criminology, Law & Society (2017-2019).
My research seeks to elucidate the impact of colonial legacies and globalization on gender-based violence, victimization, colorism, and mental health stigma among Latinx populations, both within and beyond the boundaries of Latin America using qualitative, interdisciplinary, and community-engaged approaches.
