    Cambria Herrera supports the Latin American Studies Program with outreach, communication and event planning, coordinates with visiting scholars and assists with operations and finances. They also assist the Sociology Department by coordinating the Colloquium Speaker Series. They are originally from Garden Grove, California but also call Portland, Oregon and San Diego home. An educator, performance artist and UCSD alumni, they completed an MFA in Directing from UCSD's Department of Theatre and Dance. Their research focused on cross-cultural performance from a Chicana lens and using theatre as a tool for community building. When they are not working with students or making theatre they are seeking places rich in spicy soup, bodies of water, queer artistry, and live music.
