I am a translator, copy editor, instructor, and researcher. In my copyediting role, I work with nonfiction texts in the arts and humanities, and some fictional works. I also translate literature, mostly women from Latin America, and academic or art history texts from Spanish to English.
In addition, I teach courses about literature, languages, and women's history—and I research women writers and thinkers, particularly early modern Spanish-speaking convent writers.
