Helping to widen perspectives.
About
Hi, everyone! Thank you for visiting my page!
I am a college professor, researcher, speaker, and life long learner. My aim is to share knowledge and widen the lenses in which we perceive the world. I hope to strengthen our relationships with ourselves and others - may it be our family members, friends, students, loved ones, or coworkers.
My areas of research and expertise include trauma informed pedagogies, equitable classroom practices, and the experiences of undocumented youth. However, I also write extensively about boundaries, healthy relationships, and self-care.
If you are interested in booking me for a speaking engagement, please contact me at mindfulsociologist@gmail.com

MindfulSociologist: feedback
I strive to create meaningful discussions where participants learn, expand their perspectives, and leave with a sense of agency.
"Please bring back Ms. Esther Sandoval. She was research informative, kind, warm, welcoming, authentic, and provided a great event/discussion on such a heavy topic."
"Esther is a dynamic, playful, honest presenter. I deeply appreciated the combination of care and storytelling."
"Thank you for helping me understand why I am the way I am ... thank you for helping me understand myself."
