The article I co-authored with Daniela Alumela, Farah Khalifa and Areli Morales Romero in The New Educator, entitled,  “Learning from undocumented students: Testimonios for strategies to support and resist” was cited in New York State’s amicus brief where the state sued the Trump administration for the closing of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The suit was successful, and required the government to continue accepting DACA renewals.

The work I have developed over the last decade, in collaboration with students, educators, advocates, and policymakers, resulted in the opportunity to lead a multi-year project funded by the New York State Education Department (NYSED).
