About:
I hold a Ph.D. in History from New York University, where I focused on Spain and Colonial Latin America. I defended my dissertation, Basques in the Atlantic World: Race-Thinking and Collective Identity in Potosí and the Basque Country, 1545-1699 in September 2018.
I graduated with Honors from Swarthmore College, where I was a Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellow. I am a native bilingual in Spanish and English and have lived and studied in Spain and Latin America.
