- About Me
I am a PhD student at the University of Michigan. My work examines Latinx folk medicine in the twentieth-century American West, women’s health, and reproduction and includes digital approaches to scholarship and public engagement. I currently work for the Sterilization and Social Justice Lab at the University of Michigan as a Research Assistant and as a Digital Content Specialist for the Smithsonian Latino Center.
