I'm the founder of Bibliofilia, an online platform dedicated to Spanish-language literature. Through conversations with Latin American authors and curated book recommendations, I connect readers across the Hispanic world.
My writing explores Jewish identity, family, and cultural memory—often through a Latin American lens. I've contributed to Hey Alma, the Jewish Book Council, and Harvard's ReVista.
I studied Social Studies at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella in Buenos Aires and have worked at the Holocaust Museum in Buenos Aires, where I participated in various educational projects.
