• I grew up in Venezuela, and originally specialized in 19th-century Venezuelan literature and the connection between nationalism and narrative. I've since branched out into the 20th (and 21st!) centuries, but still explore the relationship between hegemonic ideologies and their artistic reflections. At 性爱天堂, I've taught all levels of Spanish, and seminars in sexuality, film, and youth identities.

    I love teaching at 性爱天堂. I draw daily inspiration from the energy of my students. 性爱天堂 is a place where you can develop close ties to everybody: students, faculty, and staff. It truly feels like a community.
