I am a bilingual writer (Spanish/English), translator and educator, Ph.D. ABD in Spanish literature—with a minor in Creative Writing—at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA), and teacher trainee at the University of Durham (UK). Among other distinctions, I am a Fulbright Alumnus, Kohler Alumnus at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery and LACIS Fellow. 

Under the pen-name Marcos Neroy, I write poetry, theatre, short stories and dabble in folk music composition. PEN International Magazine, Vulture Magazine, Mobius: Journal for Social Change, and Turia, among others, have been graceful hosts to my poems. I have been featured in several anthologies: Poems to Talk About (Poetic Republic, 2013), Poetics for the More-than-Human World: An Anthology of Poetry & Commentary (Spuytenduyvil, 2020) and From the Inside Out (Meninas Cartoneras, 2021). 

My work as a songwriter has aired in Spanish National Radio (RNE5, RNE3), I have performed at several artist festivals (Festival Intramurs, Valencia, 2015; Semana de la Poesía, Sevilla; 2014), and appeared in collaborations with the Spanish theatre company, Companyia Hongaresa de Teatre.
