About Me

I work with the Americas Research Network (ARENET) as the Director of the Tools for Researchers Program and the Social Media Coordinator.  The mission of ARENET is “to promote and foster international exchange and collaboration among scholars, students, institutions, existing organizations, and communities within the framework of innovative programs in research, education, and outreach throughout the Americas.”  I provide support to researchers, especially those working in archives in Mexico City, and promote our programs through social media (F: ARENET.org; T: @ARENET_org).

I’m also an independent scholar working on the history of colonial Mexico in a global context and a research consultant working with other scholars to collect, transcribe, and translate archival sources as well as provide editing services.
