Research/Areas of Interest
            My research lies in the area of equity in undergraduate mathematics education. I am
               particularly interested in learning how to better center and serve students from diverse
               cultural and linguistic backgrounds in the undergraduate mathematics classroom, particularly
               at Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs). In my work, I explore the relationship between
               language, identity, power, and active learning in post-secondary mathematics classrooms.
               I has also been involved in developing a place-based, culturally responsive precalculus
               curriculum for dual-enrollment precalculus programs in the Southwest.
            In addition, I co-organize Cafecito con Matemática, a bilingual family math night
               that offers dinner for families, followed by engaging them in fun, culturally relevant
               math games and activities.
