At CSSP
I conduct research on a variety of issues, including immigration, child welfare, and economic and food security, to help the policy team develop recommendations that support families and promote equitable outcomes.
I do this work because
I am continuously inspired by the families and communities that push to dismantle the racial and social inequities that are deeply embedded in our society.
I am most proud of
Being able to pair my research skills with my commitment to social policy issues and contribute to CSSP’s growing body of anti-racist and intersectional work.

When the day is done
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, devouring a good book, or watching a lighthearted movie while munching on delicious pupusas from my favorite local restaurant.
