Biography

Alejandro is a first generation PhD student from California's Central Valley. Alejandro earned his Bachelor of Arts in English and Linguistics at University of California, Berkeley and Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology from The University of Texas at Austin.

He has served as a research assistant supporting language documentation of West African languages at UC Berkeley and data collection for bilingual individuals who stutter at UT Austin. He has coordinated a literacy mentoring program for low-income youth in Oakland, worked as an environmental science educator/youth backpacking instructor/diversity, equity & inclusion lead at Yosemite National Park, and most recently worked as a school-based speech-language pathologist at a dual-language immersion school. Alejandro currently serves on the board of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association's Hispanic Caucus as Vice-President for Public Relations. Alejandro's work and volunteer experiences have always been informed by an equity lens. He will continue to use an equity lens investigating issues relating to bi- and multi-lingual youth, typical/atypical speech-language development, and non-biased forms of assessment to reduce the over- and under- identification of speech-language impairments.

In addition to his research interests, Alejandro is also interested in increasing access to higher education for marginalized people, specifically in the field of speech-language pathology.
