Completed a research project for the course CHLX2315: The US-Mexico Border at St. Edward’s University, serving as Editor for Team 4 in the US-Mexico Borderlands Project. The project, titled Generational Latinx Attitudes Towards Success: The American Dream, explored how Latinx/Chicanx individuals conceptualize success across generations. The team concluded that younger generations are more likely to showcase their talent and status as a form of cultural expression and achievement. Trained in CITI ethical research protocols, I conducted qualitative research through interviews and community engagement, contributing to the broader publication What do Latinx/Chicanx People Have to Say About the Border?
