About me

Her work integrates research, pedagogy, and cultural action, promoting a vision of language and literature as tools for social transformation, intercultural dialogue, and the construction of sustainable and plural futures. She has developed her academic and professional career in Colombia, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain.

She is currently pursuing her doctoral research at the University of Alcalá, where she is part of the Futures Studies Lab and the Institute of Latin American Studies (IELAT). Her work examines the relationship between literature, territory, and identity from the perspective of spatial humanities, with particular attention to the intersections of the rural, the technological, and the utopian in twenty-first-century Latin American science fiction.

In the field of teaching, she has designed curricular programs and methodologies focused on intercultural communication and situated learning.
