She received a PhD from York University (Toronto, Canada) in 2015, an MA in Mexican History from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (2008) and BA from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa in Mexico City (2002). Her research focuses on modern Mexican history, with special attention to women, gender, and sexualities, as well as politics and popular culture.
