I am a PhD candidate in History at Harvard University writing POST BOND: Postal Constructions of Bordered Space in El Paso, Texas, 1765-1971. I study physical and textual infrastructures of the US state, communication networks, carceral geography and spatial approaches to legal history.
I lead workshops on counter-mapping in poetry and have formerly taught at El Paso Community College and outdoor expedition-based schools. I publish literary translations, essays and poetry. Architectures of Disappearance, my Commentary in Jacket2, features poetic work that responds to geographic and linguistic architectures of movement constriction. I am part of the leadership of Cardboard House Press and des/centro de poesía.
In 2024-25, I was a Harvard Mellon Urban Initiative Doctoral Fellow and based in Providence, RI.
