About me

I'm a PhD candidate in Comparative Literature at the University of Texas at Austin. My area of study is nineteenth-century Inter-American Literature. My languages of study are English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. I am currently a University Continuing Fellow.

Last year I was an Assistant Director and Instructor in the Department of Rhetoric and Writing. I assisted in the Department's pedagogy course for new instructors (Fall 2008) and helped organize the First-Year Forum program and lower division course guides. As a teacher in the Department, my interests include visual and digital rhetorics and composition theory. My previous courses for undergraduates have focused on somatic arguments and identity construction. You can learn more about them here
