I am a doctoral candidate in sociology at the University of Missouri in the United States. My primary interests are in immigration, race/ethnicity, social inequalities, assimilation, culture and identity, and Latino/as in the United States. I am particularly interested in the everyday experiences of Mexican immigrants that contribute to Mexican-American identity formation. More specifically, I am interested in how Mexican Americans experience daily life at home, at work, in public life and in how these experiences impact their sense of personal identity, their relationships with natives, their interactions with their families and community, and the identity work that goes into producing such categories and social worlds.
