She is an interdisciplinary researcher whose work explores how cultural practices, gender relations, and education intersect to shape social possibilities and inequalities.

Her work includes peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and two co-authored books, including Performance, ciudadanía y activismo en Chile 2010–2020 (Osoliebre, 2022) and Estrategias ecológicas, prácticas artísticas performativas y activismo medioambiental en Chile 2013–2023 (Oximoron, 2025).
