I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Latin American and Latino Studies (LALS) at the University of California, Santa Cruz. From 2015 to 2017, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the University of New Mexico, with an affiliate appointment in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies (GES). I received my Ph.D. in Latin American History from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, in August 2015.
My research focuses on interethnic borderlands, the history of cartography, and archival knowledge production. My book manuscript examines Native responses to Iberian efforts to map a border between Brazil and Spanish South America in the eighteenth century, particularly in the Río de la Plata region.
I teach courses on colonial and modern Latin America, the Southern Cone, Native American studies; Atlantic history, the history of cartography, spatial humanities, and digital mapping.
