Pedro is a second-year PhD student in Latin American Cultural and Literary Studies with focuses in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Latine Studies, Cultural Studies, and Performance Studies. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Medicine, Health, & Society and Latino & Latina Studies from Vanderbilt University.

His undergraduate research examined the history of the Chicane Feminist Movement between the 14th and 20th Centuries to highlight and retell the lost histories, symbolisms, and figures that have been silenced previously. This was done through using contemporary interpretations of Feminist Theory, Critical Race Theory, and Queer Studies. His research interests include 20th and 21st Century Latin American, Caribbean, and Latine Literature, Performance Studies, Critical Race Theory, Decolonial Feminisms, Queer Studies, and Borderland Studies. 

In 2025, Pedro was awarded the Claude Pichois Grant through the Fondation de France, where he conducted a comparative analysis of Feminist movements titled, "Variations and Unities from Transnational Divas of Feminisms", where he used lens of French Feminism, Quebecois Feminism, and Chilean Feminism through the works from Charles Baudelaire, Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, Nicole Brossard, and Isabel Allende as the focus of his research. Through his investigation, he highlighted the emphasis of the feminine body and representation as a form of commentary towards patriarchal biases through the focus of narratives, gynecological memory, and violence of the feminine body. This work is currently published under the W.T Bandy Center for Baudelaire Studies at Vanderbilt University.

Currently, his research focuses in the realm of Baile Folklórico Méxicano, where he analyzes how Folklórico as an art has maintained its practices from the Golden Age of Mexican through the performances of Baile Folklórico de Amalia Hernandez. In addition, he analyzes how Folklórico ensembles in Mexico City engage and critique the boundaries of this art form through the elements of drag and cabaret.

Outside of the program, Pedro loves to sing, read and gives his thoughts on Fable, watch YouTube videos about Books (a way to keep the TBR going!), and write poetry!
