Welcome to my professional site, here you will find information about my education, research, and teaching. Since 2017 I am the Director of the Office of Latino/Latin American Studies and Associate Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, both at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

I hold a Ph.D. in Sociology and History (Michigan State University, 2012). In 2013, Dissertation Reviews Online published an online review of my dissertation titled Chilean Migration to USA since 1950. I also earned a master’s in political sciences and international Relations from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (2007) and a Master of Arts in Sociology from Michigan State University (2007). I received my undergraduate degree in Sociology from Universidad de Chile (2002).

My general research interests concern International Migration within the Americas from a comparative-historical perspective. Between 2013 and 2015 I was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Center for Integrative Studies in Social Science at Michigan State University. Between Michigan and Nebraska, I spent two years (August 2015 to August 2017) in Santiago, Chile. There, I was a faculty member in the Escuela de Sociología at Universidad Diego Portales (UDP) and Director of UDP’s Observatorio de Desigualdades between 2016 and 2017. For one semester in 2017, I was also a faculty member in the Departamento de Sociología at Universidad Alberto Hurtado. While residing permanently in Omaha, Nebraska I am still connected with Chile. I am an adjunct researcher at the Centre for Social Conflict and Cohesion Studies and an associate researcher at the Instituto de Investigación en Ciencias Sociales and the Observatorio de Desigualdades.
