I'm a bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking researcher who has supported gerontology initiatives at UMass Boston's Gerontology Institute.

I conduct preliminary source research and literature reviews, enter and analyze MA town-based survey data, and synthesize senior citizens' feedback to inform local government aging-policy strategies.

My background also includes community-facing arts programming through the Bloomberg Arts Internship, where I helped plan and execute a public event and engaged with arts professionals and community stakeholders.

I'm completing a BA in Anthropology with a minor in Psychology at UMass Boston, bringing qualitative and quantitative research, cross-cultural communication, data organization, and careful administrative support to community-focused work.
