Born in Wichita, Kansas and raised in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley, Amelia always gravitated to the magic of film and TV.

She moved to Austin for her BS in Radio-Television-Film and fell in love with Media Studies, thanks to the amazing faculty here at UT. She is currently working full-time as a HR Assistant with the Moody College, while focusing on her MA in Media Studies.

Amelia takes an interest in children’s media, superhero media, Latinx representation, gender representation and the effects of globalization on media. She hopes to give a platform to a part of media history that often doesn’t get the spotlight.
