I am a PhD candidate at Arizona State University, originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina. My background as an editor, teacher, and translator, with a focus on Literary Theory, has been enriched by the cultural landscape of the Southwest through various projects and collaborations. This environment has fueled my interest in the intersection of literature and knowledge, particularly through the insights that dystopian and speculative fiction offer into environmental issues.

As an international student, I have deepened my engagement with American students and applied my training in Pedagogy and Linguistics, especially in teaching Spanish as a Second Language. My work in the Spanish for Heritage Learners program includes creating the podcast Azentos, providing a space for reflection on the role of Spanish in the US.

Since 2019, I have taught all levels of Spanish and contributed to curriculum development for courses such as Spanish for Sustainability and Spanish for Business. As I complete my dissertation, analyzing contemporary Latin American literature through the lens of Biosemiotics, I seek a position where I can advance research that revitalizes the role of the Humanities in discussions on planetary health. But most importantly, I am committed to guiding students with a focus on social justice and their success, using innovative methodologies and fostering an inclusive, supportive learning environment.
