She received her MA in Spanish from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her Ph.D. in Spanish from the University of Virginia. Her research centers on Latin American literature, book history, and digital and print cultures. Her first monograph, Borges and the Literary Marketplace (Yale, 2021), explains how the Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges's general involvement in the publishing industry influenced his formation as a writer and global book markets. Beyond her research on Borges, her second monograph in progress, Taking a Page from Their Books, examines how international publishing firms in the Global North capitalized on the economic, political, and cultural opportunities available to them in the book industry in Latin America. For her accomplishments in research at UGA, she recently was awarded the Michael F. Adams Early Career Scholar Award.
