About

My research investigates the opportunities for mobility and well-being of immigrants and their families in the home country. I am interested in how gender and U.S. immigration laws inform and delimit the lives of contemporary Latina/o immigrants.

My publications examine how immigration and educational policies shape the educational trajectories of undocumented students; as well as how gender and immigration laws play out in the day to day lives of immigrant and transnational families.
