I am a PhD Candidate in Rural Sociology and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Pennsylvania State University. My research examines how gender, rurality, and legal precarity shape healthcare access and caregiving among farmworker families. 

I hold an MSc. in Rural Sociology and International Agriculture and Development from Penn State, where my thesis examined participatory development projects in Honduras, and a BSc. in Socioeconomic Development and Environment from Zamorano University in Honduras. 

Across my research, I'm committed to public-facing and community-engaged scholarship that informs policy, extension, and advocacy related to rural health, food systems, and gender equity.
