My Published Research

Apart from my record of diligent editorial work, I’m proud to hold a solid history of awarded research publications to my name. These include:

• “Filtered Cultures: Confronting Latinx Diversity in the Publishing Industry” - Independent Research Project as LEAD Scholar at the University of Central Florida

  • Explored and recommended solutions for the internal lack of Latinx diversity in the publishing industry.

  • Presented research statistics, facts, and recommendations in a poster presentation before a panel of UCF scholars.

  • Recognized by the judges with a Book Scholarship Award for outstanding independent research as part of the Latinx Leadership Program.

• “Maritime Lacunae” - Honors Undergraduate Thesis at the University of Central Florida

  • Dissected and analyzed existing examples of immigrant poetry from around the world, closely documenting the techniques different poets apply and what these techniques contribute to the general conversation on immigration.

  • Composed a chapbook of my immigrant poetry, putting several of these techniques into practice and successfully bringing new perspectives to the topic of immigration as reflected in the world of poetry.

  • Recognized by the University of Central Florida’s Burnett Honors College with their Outstanding Creative Project Award.
