I’m a humanistic social scientist and feminist educator, currently an Associate Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston. I am affiliated with the Critical Ethnic and Community Studies and Latino Studies programs and serve as the Director of the Queer and Trans Studies minor.

My first book, Distributing Condoms and Hope: The Racialized Politics of Youth Sexual Health (University of California Press, 2020) was awarded the American Sociological Association Sociology of Sexualities Distinguished Book Award in 2022.

I’m also a senior fellow at the Center for Applied Transgender Studies.
