  I am a graduate researcher focusing on issues of forced migration in Latin America. I have been passionate with respect to this theme for several years now, an interest that stems from my own origin as a second generation Peruvian immigrant to Canada and that has solidified through extensive field work in refugee shelters in Mexico and Central America. Currently, I am completing a concurrent masters degree at San Diego State University, researching the intersect of legal ambiguity and migrant well-being along the U.S.-Mexico border. Alotogehter, I seek to incorporate aspects of social consciousness, justice, and empowerment within migrant communities, in an effort that build on their capacity to progress sustainably and on their long-term socio-legal transformation.
