Hometown: Miami, FL
I study how Latine caregivers nurture their children’s early development and learning through everyday practices in their home environments, with the goal of identifying culturally relevant ways to support caregivers and create environments that promote family and child wellbeing. My focus on Latine families stems from my personal connection to these communities as a Latina scholar and my commitment to promote social justice through developmental science. I am dedicated to working in partnership with community organizations that serve Latine families, as well as students from ethnoculturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
