Her research examines the intersections of migration and food systems.

The talk, Life on the Other Border: Farmworkers and Food Justice in Vermont will present her findings from more than 7 years of ethnographic research on food access amongst the Latinx farmworker community in Vermont, arguing for the necessity of community-based applied research and shedding light on a border region that is often misunderstood and underexamined.
