My research interests revolve around several key areas. My doctoral dissertation centered in mindfulness practices and their application in various contexts, particularly within education settings. For the past couple of years, I have explored how mindfulness can foster student engagement, well-being, and academic achievement. Additionally, I am deeply invested in contemplative literacies, examining the ways in which contemplative practices can enhance individuals’ reading, writing, and critical thinking abilities.

As a member of the Mexico-U.S. border, an important focal point of my research is translingualism, a field that investigates the fluidity and creativity of language use across different linguistic and cultural boundaries. I endeavor to understand how individuals navigate and negotiate their multilingual identities, examining the intersections of language, culture, and identity formation.

I am also committed to exploring the relationship between education and social justice. I am particularly interested in investigating how educational practices and pedagogies can be designed to promote inclusivity, equity, and social change. By examining the ways in which language, identity, and power intersect, I strive to contribute to the development of more equitable educational environments.
