I am a Teaching Fellow in Comparative Hispanic Cultures in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, and teach on a range of courses in Spanish, Comparative Literature and Culture and Translation Studies.

I completed my PhD at UCL and specialise in contemporary literature, focusing on fiction created by immigrant authors and the intersections between history, language and identity in their written narratives. I have also specialised in the work of Edwidge Danticat, Junot Díaz, Roberto Bolaño and other late 20th and early 21st century writers born in Latin America and the Caribbean. Other research interests include translation theory, multilingual writing, migration studies, canon deconstruction, literary diplomacy, and extraterritoriality in film and music.
