Function
I'm a teacher of English as a foreign language (EFL) and a PhD Candidate and researcher at the University of Groningen (RUG) and the National Research School for Literary Studies in the Netherlands (OSL). Parallel, I'm a PhD Candidate in Communication at Universidad Austral de Chile (UACh) and ANID Fellow: Deputy Directorate of Human Resources, National Doctorate, Chile.
My areas of interest are communication, linguistics and literature. Particularly cultural narratives, how language works, and looking beyond the functioning and use of social networking sites and their consequences on people's well-being.
Also, I have experience in qualitative and quantitative research and undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.
I hold a Research Master of Communication degree, which I received with maximum distinction at Universidad Austral de Chile.
I have also been invited to do PhD research stays at the University of Cambridge and University of Oxford in the UK, Harvard and MIT in the USA, and Universidad de Sevilla in Spain. In every university I visited, I received feedback from interdisciplinary researchers that helped me have a more panoramic view of my research approach.
Sharing my research abroad has been the best experience ever.
