What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters creativity and collaboration in literary projects.

I am a passionate literature expert with a Master's degree in Literature from Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia, where I graduated with honors. My academic journey has been enriched by my research on Latin-American literature, oral traditions, and creative writing. I have published several articles in indexed journals and have been actively involved in academic events, showcasing my commitment to advancing literary studies.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained valuable experience as an Editorial Journal Coordinator and proofreader for various journals. My role as a professor in the Master of Literature program has allowed me to guide and inspire students in their research endeavors. I have also volunteered in international projects, including working with preschool teachers in Malawi, where I contributed to educational initiatives aimed at alleviating poverty.
