I am currently a senior double majoring in Gender and Women Studies and Latino/a Studies. I am deeply passionate about education and plan on pursuing a PhD in Educational Policy, Organization, and Leadership Studies. Ultimately, my career goals involve working in the promotion of higher education, through research, for less privileged Latino/a students. I aspire to become a professor at a Tier I research university. I believe that researching on figurative support is an important factor in assessing educational success.

My research interests are on social issues as they relate to US minorities, particularly, issues regarding Latino/a youth, urban or low-income communities, multicultural education, U.S. history, mentorship and social inequalities.
