Her research is published in both science and art scholarly journals and has shaped environmental policy. She is a National Science Foundation iCorps Fellow, an Oakland Teaching Fellow, and a Cota-Robles Fellow dedicated to advancing opportunities for multicultural societies. Her work has been exhibited in the US and abroad, and her research and artistic products have received wide exposure in popular media such as National Geographic, Kunstforum International, Atlas Obscura, KCET Artbound, the associated press, podcasts, music festivals and conferences.
