I earned a B.A. in Linguistics and an M.A. in Anthropology from the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Linguistic Anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin, affiliated with the Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) program and the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies (LLILAS).

I have served as a lecturer at universities in Peru, including the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru and the National University of San Marcos, where I designed and taught courses that drew on my research on Indigenous peoples and their languages.

I was a visiting researcher at the Center for Systematic Musicology at the University of Graz in 2021, and previously at the Institute of Language Studies at the State University of Campinas in 2019.
