She looks toward queer sonic spaces, auto-ethnography, affectivity and performance studies as form to linger on queer resistance.
Biography
As a Eugene Cota-Robles and California State University Chancellor Doctoral fellow, she is an impassioned first generation Ph.D. student at UCLA’s Gender Studies department.
Her passion is integrating her hybrid-latinidad within her scholarship, honoring her family and queer self. With a background as a Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellow, her training encompasses complaining and relishing (before/during/after) in her creative writing processes and uses its ambivalent pleasure(s) as method on theorizing alternative processes towards aesthetic resistance.
