I am a medical anthropologist pursuing my PhD in Hispanic Studies at Emory University. With a Master of Arts in Spanish from Ohio University and a Licenciatura in Comunicación Social from Universidad Católica, my academic background reflects a deep commitment to understanding cultural narratives and communication. I have extensive international experience, including research in Kenya. Argentina, the US and Brazil, and have coordinated and assisted in various programs at Emory, notably as the Mellon Humanities Program Coordinator and as a Program Assistant for study abroad programs in Portugal. My professional achievements include multiple research grants, including the EGHI Field Scholar Award, and an Outstanding Graduate Teaching Award at Emory. Fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and English, my contributions extend to translating key feminist and decolonial texts and teaching courses on Spanish linguistics and Latin American languages. My work reflects a strong commitment to the intersection of language, medicine, and politics, particularly within marginalized communities.
