Rebecca earned her PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2017 in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on Language and Literacy and Bilingual Education and her MA in Latin American Studies in 2012.

Rebecca's research interests include bilingual and multilingual literacies, transnational literacy practices, and translanguaging practices.  She is specifically interested in how young people access and utilize literacy knowledge in their home language(s) to negotiate their participation in new and shifting cultural and linguistic landscapes.
