About the Researcher

I am Co-Director of the Social Equity Research and Policy lab. My research interests focus on labor trafficking and the victimization of vulnerable populations, including women and immigrants. Over the past several years, I have actively pursued both funding for my research on labor trafficking and my research on immigrants, crime, and victimization. I have interviewed stakeholders working with labor trafficking survivors and undocumented immigrants and completed semi-structured and qualitative interviews in Spanish and English with a community sample of undocumented immigrants.
