I received my Licenciatura (BA) in Hispanic Language and Literatures from the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 2020 (UNAM). In my thesis, I developed an interdisciplinary analysis in between literature, moralism and vanguards.

In 2021 I started my masters degree at UBC, where I continued my specialization in Contemporary Mexican literature, this time focusing my research in recent novels, testimony and orality.

Within academia, I have served as Teaching Assistant in the Spanish beginners level, as well as tutored undergraduate students. Some of the topics I taught in these sessions where related to Spanish language, contemporary Latin American fiction and Spanish golden age literature. In the same way, I served as the Graduate Students Association Vice President, as well as the Master’s students representative to the Department.

Outside academia, I have worked in the publishing industry. I collaborated in the Mexican Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) editing written materials, mainly elementary school text books, selected literature works, and other internal communication texts, such as bulletins, newsletters, journals, diplomas and social media. In the same way, I have worked in the industry of culture, mainly with the purpose of promoting reading as a leisure activity. These events include dramatized readings of master pieces, interviews with authors, book clubs and conferences.

Within the Department of French, Hispanic and Italian Studies at UBC, I have worked in specific cultural events, discussing topics like Mexican culture, traditions, food and Hispanic heritage.
