Biography

I have been at Colorado State University since August 1999. I am currently an  Associate Teaching Professor of Spanish. A native of Parral, Chihuahua , Mexico, I received my Ph.D. in 20th Century Spanish American Literature from Texas Tech University in 1987. My many areas of interest include: contemporary Spanish American prose, Language for Specific Purposes, issues in culture, translation and interpreting, as well as the teaching of reading and writing skills. Learning doesn't only happen in the classroom. I am very involved in community outreach work that involves my students.As a person who works at an emerging HSI (Hispanic Serving Institution), I am committed to creating a welcoming environment for our diverse Latine students and their families

I am also the Undergraduate Coordinator for LLC.
