Teaching Philosophy
I approach teaching as an extension of my research and community-engaged scholarship. As a teaching assistant and guest lecturer, I have contributed to courses on labor, gender, migration, and rural development by creating course materials, leading discussions, and supporting students through research and writing processes. My pedagogy emphasizes feminist ethics of care, critical engagement with inequality, and the application of theory to real-world contexts.

Service & Community Engagement
Service & Community Engagement
My service work is closely integrated with my research agenda on migration, labor, and health. I approach service as reciprocal and research-informed, prioritizing collaboration with community partners, extension programs, and interdisciplinary research networks to ensure that scholarly work remains accountable to the communities it engages.
Service roles include co-chairing research interest groups within the Rural Sociological Society; organizing academic webinars and conference programming; collaborating with Penn State Extension on bilingual health insurance outreach for farmworkers; advising community organizations serving farmworker families; participating in agricultural health and safety research networks; and mentoring students through research collaboration. Specific positions, dates, and institutional affiliations are listed in my CV.
