About
I am a Faculty Fellow in UCLA’s Department of Spanish and Portuguese. I work with the representation and production of space in Medieval and Early Modern works. In my doctoral dissertation, I explored the unstudied corpus of Iberian pliegos sueltos from the Geocritical perspective. The pliegos sueltos provide a heterotopic and intertextual representation of medieval-modern Iberian spatialities. Education
