digital humanist
I am a historian of modern US-Mexico, migration, and the environment. I am particularly interested in analyzing how Latinx migrants’ spatial and cultural practices are rooted in their homeland, and how they adopt new practices through their experiences.
I am also interested in the digital humanities, specifically GIS and data analysis. I look to utilize computational tools to answer historical questions and am constantly looking for ways bring technological literacy into the field of history and historical pedagogy.
I employ various strategies and assignments to ensure my courses are student-centric, adapt to multiple modes of learning, and implement an anti-racist, anti-biased framework. I also seeks ways to develop hard skills in my instruction.

I am a PhD Candidate at Stony Brook University who studies and teaches courses on US, Latin American, and environmental history. Born to parents of Mexican descent in a Los Angeles suburb, I attended Chapman University before going to Stony Brook for my graduate work. I am currently finishing my dissertation, "Landscapes of Longing: Migration and the Remaking of Rural Mexico."
