Whether I'm reading them, writing them, or speaking them, I am obsessed with words. Language — whether English, my native language, or Spanish, in which I am proficient — is at the heart of everything I do.

I am currently an English PhD student at Emory University where I research disability studies, crip temporalities, and nineteenth-century British literature. I also serve as a graduate tutor at the Emory Writing Center where I enjoy engaging students in dialogue throughout the writing process. 

Prior to starting my PhD, I was a writing specialist at Lindenwood University's writing center. There, I led undergraduate peer tutor training, assisted students with written projects, and spearheaded university-wide creative writing programming. In 2024, I graduated summa cum laude and earned my B.A. in English with a creative writing concentration and a second major in Spanish from Washington University in St. Louis. I was also a member of WashU's 2024 English Honors cohort, and my senior thesis on gender and disability in nineteenth-century literature was awarded highest distinction. 

I aspire to someday become a professor of English, teaching Victorian and Gothic literature with a focus on the convergence of disability and temporality in these works. 

When I'm not reading or writing, you can likely find me drinking copious amounts of tea, watching Gilmore Girls, or asking strangers if I can pet their dogs.
