My research and teaching focuses on Spanish Language, and Latin American and Hispanic literature (related to gender, history, art and society.

I believe in diversity and inclusivity as a part integral on my life. Indeed, my PhD focus on gender, diversity, human rights and inclusivity. Indeed, the goal of my PhD thesis is to examine how the discourse of modernization in early twentieth-century literature, films and photographs of the Amazonian (1900-1912) rearranged, adapted and helped to perpetuate old colonial images about women and nature, and how these images preserve stereotypes in quotidian life today. I draw from ecofeminist theory, postcolonial theory, and cultural studies.
