Originally from El Salvador, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Universidad Centro Americana. After relocating to the United States, I served in the U.S. Army in Germany and Kansas, where I completed two Master of Arts degrees in Economics and Literature and Languages at Kansas State University. I earned a Ph.D. in Latin American Literature and a Graduate Certificate in Latin American Studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, supplementing my education with coursework in Spanish linguistics and literature at Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
