She is an Assistant Professor at the University of Notre Dame in the Computer Science and Engineering Department. She earned her Ph.D. at the University of Central Florida's School of Modeling, Simulation, & Training.

She strive to serve as a bridge that unites different cultures and she fully bilingual (English-Spanish).
