ABOUT ME

I am a writer, translator, and educator who received her MFA in Creative Writing from the Institute of American Indian Arts and an MA from Columbia University. My writing in English has appeared or is forthcoming in New England Review, The Cincinnati Review, Guernica, The Idaho Review, The Kenyon Review Online, and Latin American Literature Today, and in Spanish in Polis Poesía, where I served as contributing editor (2021-2024).

​

I teach writing at Auburn University and in women's prisons through the Alabama Prison Arts + Education Project.

​

A dual citizen of the US and Colombia, I divide my time between Alabama and Bogotá.
