Why is it the more women don't study science, or why is it that if they do, they don't achieve as many professional positions of leadership as men? Many people have asked questions such as these in the past.

She created Borinqueña, an online space to discuss and exchange ideas about Puerto Rican and Hispanic women and girls in science and how to overcome historical trends.
