As an academic and educator, I’m interested in the ways in which we listen, and how certain “tropes” of the tropics travel through music, literature, performance, and art. I teach and continuously learn how to listen.

I received my PhD from the University of Texas at Austin, and I am an Assistant Professor of Afro Latin American Cultural Studies in the Department of Spanish at Wake Forest University.
