On November 2020, I was named one of ten Emerson Collective Fellows part of the Recover and Renew Cohort. The Recover and Renew cohort is a cross-disciplinary group, each committed to exploring how issues of equity and justice have shaped the pandemic—and how we can center both on the path to building anew. I’ll be developing a collection of culturally relevant, Spanish-language educational resources to help Puerto Ricans stay safe from COVID-19. Ultimately, the project will serve as a new model for inclusive and participatory science communication and community engagement. I am the first and only Puerto Rican to date to earn this award.
