My trajectory as an engaged scholar
I am an engaged scholar who combines research with community-based projects. I co-founded The People’s Pantry – Toronto, a food justice mutual aid initiative launched in 2020 to address food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of my dissertation work, I also established a youth-led community center in Puerto Nuevo, Callao, Peru, offering workshops for children and youth that combine fun activities with the development of community organizing skills.
Community organizing and labor mobilization have been central to my career. I served as General Vice President of CUPE 3902, representing over 10,000 academic workers at the University of Toronto, and actively organized bargaining rounds for TAs, instructors, and postdocs. I have worked with the Peruvian Ministry of Culture developing programs for Indigenous communities, and consulted on education inequality and labor research for government institutions. My work has been featured in the media in both Peru and Canada.
Currently, I serve as an expert witness in asylum cases for Peruvians migrating to the United States and volunteer with the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center in Albuquerque, supporting legal clinics for immigrant communities.
