About Gabriela Flores
Gabriela 'Gaby' Flores is en route to earning my doctorate in Sociology at the University of California, Merced. In her research, she is primarily interested in how parenting styles are constructed and maintained within Latinx families, with a particular focus on higher education. Gaby is also interested in the role of Hispanic Serving Institutions in the experiences and outcomes of self-identifying Latinx college students. Her overall research interests include youth and families, race and ethnicity, education, and gender.
Gaby is a proud daughter of Mexican and Salvadoran immigrants. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Gaby is a first-generation college graduate and aspires to help other first-generation college students reach their educational goals. She holds degrees from the University of California, Santa Barbara (BA 2019) and California State University, Northridge (MA 2021).

She started this blog to share her experiences and knowledge with others who are interested in pursuing graduate school in Sociology, discussing topics focused on Latinx families, and connecting on other shared interests. This blog covers a wide range of material related to works in progress, current academic reads, and my thoughts on contemporary social issues. Gaby also writes about her personal experiences as an aspiring sociologist.
