Summary

Spanish instructor with over fifteen years of experience teaching the language at various levels and in diverse contexts, both in-person and online. Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Hispanic Studies at McGill University, where I also teach. My approach combines linguistic development with cultural content from an interdisciplinary, collaborative, and student-centered perspective. I complement my teaching with research in Latin American literature and culture, which enriches and deepens my pedagogical practice.
