As well as school management and leadership of teaching administrators.

My research has been mainly qualitative, although I have also conducted some mixed studies, such as the one published in the book El desafío de leer textos académicos en la universidad: experiencias de investigación y propuestas didácticas (The challenge of reading academic texts at university: research experiences and teaching proposals), published by the National University of Colombia.

I have experience in training language teachers; supporting writing tutors and novice academic writers through writing circles; leadership in the study group Didactic Devices for Writing in Research, in the Literature and Literacities Seedbed: Literary Knowledge in Education at the PUJ, and in the School Leadership Committee. I have also been invited to serve as an editor for the magazines Íkala, Zona Próxima, and Magis.

I enjoy writing and have published several articles on literacy practices in universities and schools.
