Hello

My name is Alex and I'm a multidisciplinary scholar, writer, and creative working at the intersection of academia, fashion, and media.

I’m a doctoral candidate in Feminist Studies at UC Santa Barbara, where I research Latinx fashion, media, and visual cultures, exploring themes of identity, queerness, labor, and global capitalism. My academic journey is fueled by hands-on experience behind the scenes in fashion, print, film, and commercial campaigns as a wardrobe stylist, production assistant, line producer, assistant director, and more!

Scholarship

I explore how queer Latinx identity and belonging is expressed through popular culture, fashion, media, and film, looking at how these areas overlap. It’s all about understanding how these vibrant aspects of culture shape identities and communities while unearthing alternative stories.

Film & Media Production

As a line producer, I handle the day-to-day details that keep a commercial or film production running smoothly, on time, and on budget. From managing vendors, and production crew, to solving on-set challenges, I ensure everything flows so the creative team can focus on bringing the story to life.

Consulting

I help you navigate cultural intersections and shape compelling stories. I focus on research to ensure that portrayals resonate authentically with QTBIPOC and minority audiences, reviewing scripts and production elements to create genuine and inclusive representations in media and film.
