PhD Student- Sociology

Biography:

I am from San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora, México. Ten years ago, my mother made a hard decision to cross the border and move to the United States, searching for a better future for us. We established ourselves in the San Luis Valley, a small town named Center Colorado. I am the son of a migrant, seasonal, and temporary farmworker. I attended Adams State University as a scholar for the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP). I am currently a PhD sociology student working as a research assistant for the Refugee Immigrant Well-Being Project (RIWP) in the qualitative, quantitative, interview, and policy teams.
