Graduate student at The University of Texas at Austin researching transnational language dynamics in return and circular migrant families| CONACYT scholarship recipient| First Generation Grad Student.
I am a committed graduate student focusing on the intersection of family, language, and literacy in the context of return and circular migration. Through my research, I explore how migration between the U.S. and Mexico shapes language acquisition, literacy practices, and familial dynamics across borders.
I am particularly interested in how these transnational experiences can inform pedagogical practices, ultimately contributing to more inclusive, culturally responsive, and sustainable educational frameworks.
