My interests include the training and employment conditions of postdoctoral researchers, with specific focus on international scholars, postdoctoral policy, postdoc mentoring, and gender representation in science. I have designed successful career and professional development programs and immigration education curricula for postdoctoral researchers as well as mentor training for their faculty supervisors. I have led policy projects in several academic organizations to retain and engage underrepresented researchers (in particular, women and LGBTQ+ scholars) and to educate international scientists about their career options in the United States.Originally from Lima (Peru), I hold a Ph.D. in Linguistics from Stony Brook University and a Ph.D. in Linguistics and Andean Studies from Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru.
