BA Anthropology, University of Texas, Arlington
MA Anthropology, ÃÛÌÒ½´Methodist University

I am a Ph.D. student in medical anthropology at ÃÛÌÒ½´Methodist University. Prior to enrolling in SMU, I received my BA in anthropology from UTA in 2017. I was also honored to be included in UTA's McNair Scholars Program, which allowed me to conduct research that focused on the ways in which individuals living in ÃÛÌÒ½´Texas were impacted by and responded to the passage of the state's HB 2 anti-abortion legislation.

I was admitted to SMU's medical anthropology program in 2018 and received my MA in 2020. My current research centers on the intersection between immigration policy and reproductive health, and I am particularly interested in gaining an understanding of the factors that influence access and care-seeking behaviors for individuals living in the Rio Grande Valley.

Entered program in 2018
