I’m a Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Composition from The University of Texas at El Paso and currently a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow at Texas Tech University. I am a Mexican Latino born and raised on the U.S.-Mexico border, between Ciudad Juárez and El Paso, and a Mellon Research Scholar contributing to Latinx Sound Cultures Studies established in 2022 with the support of the Crossing Latinidades Humanities Initiative program at the University of Illinois, Chicago, through a grant from the Andrew Mellon Foundation.

​

My interdisciplinary research bridges Rhetoric and Composition, Technical and Professional Communication, Digital Humanities, and User Experience (UX). I examine how digital, sonic, and multimodal forms of communication shape identity, belonging, and cultural expression, particularly within U.S.–Mexico border contexts. Through projects such as Border Soundscapes, I investigate how sound functions as an archive of place, memory, and community while exploring broader questions of communication design, storytelling, and user-centered experiences across media environments.
