Lina is a student at USC, double majoring in American Popular Culture and Social Science with an Emphasis in Psychology. She just completed her undergraduate thesis on the representation of Latina women in media and how that impacted the identity formation of now college-aged Latinas. She is also currently pursuing her master's degree in Public Diplomacy. Last year, she studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and was immersed in Irish art, dance, and culture. She has researched social issues such as representation, mental health, arts education, and Chicano/Latino art and literature. She has been dancing since she was 3 years old and is excited to combine her passions and research as a member of the CDI team!
