She attained her B.A in Art History with Honors in 2013 at the University of Texas at Austin and her M.A. in Art History from Tulane University in 2017. Her research explores Aztec and early colonial visual culture, specifically on historical codices and maps created in decades after the indigenous-Spanish encounter. Her dissertation studies the Codex Xolotl, a pictorial manuscript painted in an indigenous style that conflates genealogical, historical, and geographic information.

She currently teaches for the Department of Art History at Tulane University.
