I am a historian turned consultant who writes about mental health and career development. I am originally from Mexico.

​

Growing up in two countries and navigating the reality of the US-Mexico border influenced my decision to study history. 

​

I received my BA in Ethnic Studies and International Studies from UCSD, and my MA and PhD in History from the University of Chicago. My research examined race, class, labor systems, and ethnic mobilizations. 

​

After graduate school, I ventured into nonprofit work and management consulting, where I learned about talent development and organizational effectiveness. 

​

My experience developing programs for underrepresented students has helped me think strategically about how to create policies that are inclusive and supportive of first generation professionals.
