Biography

As a PhD student in the Department of History at the University of Arizona, my research interests include Modern Latin American History with an emphasis in nineteenth century Mexico. The topic of my doctoral dissertation is the development in the firefighting brigade in Mexico City during the Porfiriato (1876-1911). My academic career has been enriched through professional experiences such as interning at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, attending classes at the Universidad de las Américas and the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla in Mexico, and gaining teaching experience as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for courses about Modern Mexican History and the Sonoran Desert. I received my Bachelor's degree in History at California State University, Chico and my Master's degree in Latin American Studies at the University of Arizona.
