Brief Biographical Sketch:

I was born in Argentina and spent my life moving all over the world. Places I've lived include Buenos Aires, Colorado, South Korea, and California. My interests are diverse, but are often centered in the humanities (English, philosophy, comparative literature) or the social sciences (psychology, sociology, anthropology). In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, playing guitar, and singing in an acapella group known as Fleet Street! I hope as a Splash teacher, I can encourage students to learn and engage with their interests in a way that's meaningful to them.

H7378: Build-A-World™ in Splash Fall 2019 (Nov. 16 - 17, 2019)
Skirt the rules of time. Sidestep the laws of gravity. Smelt the secrets of hidden friendships. Create the world of your dreams, whether it stretches across galaxies or fits in the palm of your hand. In this workshop, we will explore different scopes of worldbuilding in pop culture and literature, from the vast and expansive (The Avengers MCU, Rick and Morty, Star Wars, Harry Potter) to the personal and intimate (the Hubermanns’ basement in the The Book Thief, the narrator’s morbid imagination in The Raven). We will engage in a variety of activities to help you play god and brainstorm blueprints of your own worlds, large and small, and we will discuss how the rules of our lives translate into fictional experiences, interactions, and relationships. You will have the chance to begin a piece of written artwork -- an idea, a story, a poem, lyrics, screenplay, storyboard (literally anything!) -- that delves deeper into one of your realms.
