About me
I was born in 1954 and raised in Puerto Rico. I learned two languages at the same time as I was growing up. I also grew up wondering why my choices in life were limited just because I was a girl.
Fast-forward to 2024. My journey has finally brought me, through ups and downs, to fulfill my lifelong dream: to learn, to fill my eyes with the beauty of language and my mind with the wonders of human communication.
I will slowly fill these pages with the fruits of my academic research, but I may also sprinkle them with poetry and paintings that I have been carrying in my soul without ever finding a good home for them. I may also share the bounty of my explorations in the world of rhetoric, a brave new world I am just starting to discover.
One way or another, this will be the place where you will come to know who I am.
TEDx Clemson 2024
In 2024 Clemson University hosted a students' TED Talk about nontraditional journeys in life. I was fortunate enough to have been chosen for this unique experience.
Here is my 15-minute TEDx Talk.
