I am an Assistant Professor of Instruction in Spanish at Ohio University, where I teach courses in Spanish language and Hispanic literatures and cultures. My teaching and research interests lie at the intersection of 20th-century and contemporary Latin American literature and culture, political theory, environmental humanities, utopian studies, Indigenous studies, posthumanism, and new materialisms.

My first book manuscript, Writing the Common: Literature and Utopia in Latin America, examines literature’s engagement with the common through readings of late 20th- and 21st-century contemporary Latin American literature. Focusing on literary texts that foreground literature’s collective dimension through literary plagiarism, rewriting, collective authorship, and collaborative spaces of literary production, as well as on fictions that imagine and problematize alternative forms of social and political organization.

I am also working on a second project, Contested Natures: Literature and the Posthuman Imagination in Latin America, which analyzes the diverse ways in which contemporary texts from genres such as science fiction, new weird, and ecohorror decenter the human by giving protagonism to natural elements and forces.

My work has appeared in Chasqui, the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, Universum, and other venues. I serve on the scientific committee of Pirandante. Revista de Lengua y Literatura Hispanoamericana and the evaluation committee of [sic]. Revista Arbitrada de la Asociación de Profesores de Literatura del Uruguay.
