My research lies at the intersection of Latin American and Latinx studies, migration studies, affect theory, and digital humanities, with a particular focus on undocumented migration from the Andes to the United States. Since 2018, I am an active member of Humanizing Deportation, a public humanities project that collaborates with migrants to document and preserve self-authored stories through digital storytelling.

I am currently completing my first book project which examines how grassroots cultural production—including digital stories, testimonial narratives, community archives, and other creative practices—reconfigures representations of undocumented migration by foregrounding affect, everyday life, and migrant knowledge. My work explores how these cultural practices challenge narratives centered solely on victimhood and instead illuminate migrants' political agency, forms of belonging, and alternative visions of mobility and social life.
