ABOUT
I am a Mexican-American writer, translator, and poet, currently up to cotranslating from the Catalan with Megan Berkobien. Together, we've worked on books by Montserrat Roig, Muriel Villanueva, and Susanna Rafart (in the works!). I've done solo translating as well (Melina Balcázar's The Dead Won't Die Here) and am also cotranslating Román Luján, alongside José Antonio Villanueva.
I wrote the book Fantasía fértil, which was published by Medusa Editorial in the Pyrenées, as well as Sueños de la malaria, published in Mexico with Herring Publishers. Up next is Raw Age / La hora cruda with Dharma Books. My work can also be found in the anthology of women writers Monstrua, published by UNAM.
My interest is to uplift the voices of women and to explore topics of cross-border identity, multilingualism, and community organization.
I recently finished a PhD at the University of Mexico (UNAM) on the reintegration of people who are deported from the United States to Mexico, through the arts. Before that, I studied a master's in translation at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, and a bachelor's in creative writing and political science at Columbia University.
I also enjoy translating academic work in the fields of sociology and political science.
