Dr. Cantú received her Ph.D. in communication from ASU's Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, and her M.A. in communication and B.A. in journalism and political science from Texas A&M University. Growing up on the U.S.-Mexico border has encouraged Dr. Cantú  to explore the richness, complexities, and diversity of the borderlands to serve communities and develop community-embedded programming.

During the Fall 2023-Spring 2024 academic year, Dr. Cantú is serving as the Estrella Mountain Community College (EMCC) Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) Faculty Director. She is located in Montezuma Hall, Room 112C.
