Her academic work has specialized in the fields of photo history, contemporary art, and Mexican genre films.

She has lectured in Mexico, Argentina, and the US and has conducted research and organized exhibitions and events in different art museums and art galleries including Rochester Contemporary Art Center (RoCo) and Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE). She has worked with internationally renowned artists such as Graciela Iturbide and Gary Baseman.

Through this platform, she has organized, Above And Under The Surface (2021), Instruments of Memory (2022) and co-curated Memorias y Resistencias: Historias Afrolatinas y Caribeñas in partnership with the Museo de las Mujeres Costa Rica.
