Bio

Grounded in her identity as an Indigenous Latina practitioner-scholar-activist, Dr. Regalado is deeply committed to advancing cultural and language pedagogy in literacy instruction. Her research focuses on disrupting and dismantling the educational deficit narratives surrounding BIPOC students in K-16 classrooms. Her research uses counterstorytelling to advocate for student success, restorative literacies, and Indigenous pedagogy. Additionally, Dr. Regalado has 14 years of experience teaching in the K-12 classroom, seven of those years were as a reading specialist and dyslexic coordinator.

Along with her academic endeavors, she facilitates Coahuiltecan language and Ways of Knowing classes and serves as an educator in the Tānko Institute: Xinachtli Pedagogy. Dr. Regalado is dedicated to revitalizing our local Indigenous language in collaboration with the Indigenous Cultures Institute. Moreover, she is a director of curriculum and instruction for Catch the Next, a nonprofit that supports first-generation college students. Her work creates counterspaces that promote a sense of belonging and unity.
