I completed my PhD in Literary, Cultural, and Linguistic Studies at the University of Miami in 2026, where I also earned graduate certificates in Digital Humanities and Second Language Acquisition and Teaching.
In addition to my research, I teach Spanish language, literature, and culture courses with an emphasis on interdisciplinary learning, environmental humanities, cultural analysis, and student-centered pedagogy.
My research and teaching explore the intersections of Indigenous studies, Digital Humanities, environmental humanities, sociolinguistics, and decolonial thought.
I work with Indigenous Kichwa communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon and among Kichwa diasporic communities in the United States, where I examine environmental activism, language revitalization, migration, territorial defense, and collaborative forms of knowledge production through ethnographic fieldwork, oral history, documentary practice, and digital storytelling.
