A Poetry MFA candidate at Columbia University, I am a recent alumnus of Fordham University, where I received a BA in Spanish Language and Literature and English with a Creative Writing Concentration. In 2019 I studied for a semester with Universidad del Salvador in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At Columbia, I work as a Teaching Assistant in the Community Impact program and as a volunteer with Columbia Artist/Teachers and the Columbia Journal. I also currently an independent contractor with Includesign, an accessible design company currently developing the LapSnap, a wheelchair-accessible shopping basket. I recently worked in a local bookstore with rare and old books and memorabilia, and I have experience working in a restaurant and singing as a church cantor. I am fluent in Spanish and know basic Albanian.
