I am fostering relationships with colleagues in Puebla, Mexico, and have participated in international collaborations to further explore experiences of Latinx immigrants whose family lives across nation-state borders to better develop interventions that address these relationships in transnational spaces. In the next five years, I want my research to amplify the voices of marginalized women who are survivors of IPV to better understand interpersonal violence in diverse communities and to highlight intersections of structures of oppression and social support systems.
