I am a heart-forward community organizer, storyteller, activist-researcher, educator and forever student passionate about cultivating collective liberation through the collaborative building of new, life-sustaining systems and spaces. Motivated by empathy and a deep commitment to hope, I am passionate about working for transformative social change at all levels, inspired and informed by the voices most marginalized by power systems past and present. I believe in cultivating radical political alternatives and visionary futures through community care, strategic planning, and resilient network building. My primary interest lies at the intersection of agency, power, and social change and centers around human experiences of policy and political structures. I am a recent graduate of the University of Oregon Clark Honors College with a major in Political Science with minors in Ethnic Studies and Global Studies. My undergraduate experience focused on exploring human rights, public health, movement politics, and social change through coursework, independent research, grassroots activism, and volunteer work. My senior thesis built on participatory ethnographic fieldwork to explore how queer agroecology and food sovereignty activism in Puerto Rico challenges conditions of coloniality and cultivates a more sustainable, just, and democratic political ecology.
