In addition to my translation of nonfiction works, mostly of Mexican art criticism, art history, and cultural texts, I translate literature—especially fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry by women from contemporary Latin America and early modern Spain. In 2018, I won a World Literature Today Translation Prize for my translation of the poem “Lucy Says” by Paula Ilabaca Núñez (Chile).

​

Latin American Literature Today recently published my partial translation of Karina Sosa Castañeda’s Ghost Horse in the “Seeking Publisher” section. Other literary translations include: The Seamstresses by Elena Poniatowska (Toad Press, 2022),“Change of Aim” by Víctor Vásquez Quintas (Noir Nation, 2012), and The Talking Disease by Jair Cortés (Gláphyra, 2008). 

​

In 2022, I was accepted to the Manuscript Workshop of the Bread Loaf Translators’ Conference at Middlebury College where I worked on my translation of a Mexican woman writer’s novel.

 

I am about to complete a graduate-level certificate in literary translation at Indiana University, which entails 24 graduate credits and a translation project, including an essay, of approximately 60 pages in length. I am long-standing member of the American Literary Translators Association (ALTA).
