I’m a Ph.D. student in Hispanic Languages and Literatures. At Berkeley, I seek to map out the immigrant experience and increase access to higher education for marginalized communities. Originally from Mexico City, I’ve lived for ten years in Yucaipa, where 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 post-Revolutionary Mexican literature, Magical Realism, Mexican and American politics, the borderlands, immigration, queerness, and translation. I love coffee, listening to music 24/7, writing poetry, and walking around.
