(él, he, er, il, ele, lui)
I was born in Santiago de los Caballeros and have lived in New York, Key West, Santo Domingo, and San Juan. After I finished my doctorate, I decided to turn my intellectual endeavors towards literary translation and creative writing. Making Latin American literature available in English to a wider reading public is my passion. I enjoy collaborating with multilingual publishing venues such as the Dominican Writers Association; Centro Journal, which I help copyedit; and Latin American Literature Today, for which I am a volunteer translator. My creative writing has appeared in anthologies and in Chicú Journal and Latino Book Review Magazine.
