Summary Statement of Research Interests

Her work focuses on how migrant-based communities form through creating and using public space to enhance their livelihoods. She is a third-generation resident of the northeast San Fernando Valley and advocates for transforming spaces to meet local needs and celebrate cultural practices, sustaining a tradition that comprises the core of her research on her home.
