Currently a Lecturer in International Development and Social Sciences at the University of Bath in the Social and Policy Sciences department, I am interested in the fields of women's studies, feminist theory, and social movements. During my PhD, I conducted a research project aimed at highlighting the community impacts of grassroots movements in the periphery and centre of Mexico City in their struggle against state and social violence. I also hold a Research Masters in International Development from the university of Bath and a Bachelor of science Degree in Sociology from Bath Spa University. I am fluent in English and Spanish which has enabled me to conduct primary research in Europe and South America in a number of projects and roles.
