 I'm from Mallorca, a beautiful island in the Mediterranean Sea that belongs to Spain. I graduated in 2020 with my bachelor's degree in Foreign Languages at New Mexico State University. In 2022, I graduated from New Mexico State University with my master's degree in Hispanic Literature. I worked as an adjunct professor of Spanish at the Department of Languages & Linguistics at New Mexico State University 2022-2023 academic year. This is going to be my second year in the PhD program in Hispanic Literature & Cultural Studies at The University of Arizona where I'm currently teaching Spanish 201 for the BLP (Basic Language Program). My research interests are under a Transatlantic view connecting both Baroques (Barroco de Indias & Barroco Español) exploring the violence against the women's body in the Golden Age Theatre & literature and bringing it to the present time. Other topics of interest are pre-feminist & feminist theory, gender studies, utopia, aesthetics, psychoanalysis, testimonio and subaltern studies. 

Currently Teaching

SPAN 201 – Third Semester Spanish

Continuation of Spanish 101 and 102 or by placement exam. As the first semester of the second year Spanish, this course focuses on a short review of the materials studied in the first year courses. It expands on those points with a more in-depth study of the Spanish language and culture. Content-based approach integrates grammar and culture in a functional use through listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The course further develops grammatical accuracy in the use of the simple tenses: present, future, and conditional and of particular importance is the perfection of the use of the past tense: preterit and imperfect. Compound tenses such as the present perfect, past perfect are also developed in this course. Students gain the ability during this course to deal with more complex and abstract situations in the foreign language. Language use encouraged by way of communicative activities rather than a sequence of linguistics units. Audio, video, and computer materials incorporated.
