I am mainly interested in historical and social-sciences oriented research on contemporary Latin American social and political processes, with emphasis on political history, intellectual history, Latin American exiles, among other related topics.Recently, I've entered the realm of public service by working in the Consular Protection area of the Career Consulate of Mexico in Brownsville, Texas, which has included but has not been limited to working closely together with American institutions such as Customs and Border Protection, Border Patrol, and OSHA, as well as NGO's such as Friendship of Women. I also had the opportunity to bring into being the Active Shooter Protocol, with assistance from the Brownsville Police Department and Cameron County Sheriff's Office.I've published articles in specialized journals and book chapters, as well as presented works in both national and international congresses and colloquiums. I have a B.A. in History from Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí, which included a year spent at Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación, Universidad de la República in Montevideo, Uruguay. I later obtained a M.A. in Social Sciences from Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales, sede México.My bachelor's thesis was awarded an Honorary Mention in the 2019 edition of the 20 de Noviembre Awards, organized by the Ministry of Culture of the state of San Luis Potosí, in the historical research category.I am also an experienced English-Spanish/Spanish-English Translator/Interpreter and ESL teacher with a decades long experience working in the education and translation/interpretation fields.
