I’m a Ph.D. student in Hispanic Languages and Literatures. My aim at UC Berkeley is to study and develop the concept of Movement, with its many understandings, as it applies to heterogeneous experiences within Southern California through poetry, literature, and history. Through extracurricular work, I seek to increase access to higher education for marginalized communities. I graduated from Crafton Hills College with an AA in Economics. After community college, I transferred to the University of Redlands. There, I completed a BA in Spanish and Political Science.
My research interests include 19th to 21st century Mexican and American literature, personal identity as developed through the subject’s orientation and relation to any given space, magical realism, the history of Southern California, the politics of memory and personhood, and translation studies. I love coffee, listening to music 24/7, writing poetry, and walking around.
