Paz Regueiro was born in Rochester, New York at the turn of the millennium. They were raised in Fairport, New York and later Ann Arbor, Michigan. They spent their adolescence first in Córdoba, Argentina and later in Querétaro, Mexico, following their parents through their home countries. They returned to Ann Arbor, Michigan in 2016, where they graduated from the University of Michigan with two B.A.s in English and Film, Television, and Media in the spring of 2024. As of the summer of 2024, they are based in the San Francisco Bay Area. They are currently a doctoral student at UC Berkeley's department of Comparative Literature.

As a queer and transgender person, Paz’s creative and research interests are largely about queer community, subcultures, and cultural production. Their senior thesis, “On Advocating Cannibalism and Eating Shit: Queer Monstrosity in the John Waters Canon”, exposed the subversive political potential of queer monsters in narrative media, using John Waters’ Trash Trio as a case study. Their first feature documentary, “My Body is a Paradise”, is about trans people and their relationships to sex, pleasure, and eroticism. They served as Editor-in-Chief of The Trans and Gender-non-conforming Arts Review (TaGAR), an independent zine publication, between 2021-2023.

Paz's current research investigates how real-world changes in body-altering technologies influence the way sex, pleasure, and erotics are represented in narrative media. Their current research interests involve philosophy of technology, gender and sexuality studies, and new media. Away from the academy, they are a horror movie enthusiast and a drag queen.
