Camila is a Hispanic Linguistics Ph.D candidate at Temple University and holds a Master’s in Linguistics. Most of her work is focused in Sociolinguistics and experimental methods in said discipline. Currently she has implemented Rapid Parallel Visual Presentation in variationist research of Spanish-English bilinguals, in an effort to challenge the language deficicency paradigm and advocating for the importance of providing bilingual speakers with nurturing enviroments.

Currently, she is interested in finding a faculty position where she can broaden her research scope and collaborate with multidisciplinary faculty.

Her previous work focused on the Raizal Community in San Andres, Colombia. A Kriol speaking community that has been underrepresented in higher education, in her work she talks about style and identity and the strategies that bilingual speakers use to survive a discriminatory enviroment. Camila considers that sociolinguistics can contribute to better bilingual policies and can impact communities positively. Language is social and learning is social too.

Camila has also been involved in academic leadership by working as a Graduate Student Representative and is the Chair for the CEDL awards at LSA

Originally from Colombia she currently resides in Philadelphia, PA.
