My teaching bridges creative writing, literary analysis, and language pedagogy. I design courses that position writing as both an aesthetic and critical practice, integrating workshop methodologies, interdisciplinary frameworks, and emerging technologies. I incorporate brainstorming processes and AI-assisted revision as tools that reinforce writing as a deeply human, critical, and creative act.
Creative Writing in Spanish (SPAN 301)
University of Washington
This course is structured as a project-based writing workshop in which students develop original texts through drafting, revision, and collaborative editing. Writing is approached as a process that combines creative experimentation with critical reflection.
The course integrates AI-assisted revision practices, allowing students to engage critically with emerging writing technologies while refining their voice and stylistic decisions.
Projects include cultural narrative, film analysis, and explorations of gender representation, situating creative writing within broader cultural and theoretical frameworks.
Creative Writing (Graduate Seminar)
Universidad EAFIT
This course approaches literary writing as both a creative and theoretical practice. Students engage with poetics, rhetoric, and literary theory while producing original work through workshop-based methodologies.
The seminar emphasizes the relationship between tradition and innovation, guiding students to situate their writing within broader literary and critical conversations.
