She has published La familia o el olvido (2017 and 2018), Peces en la boca (2013 and 2011), Landsmoder (2022 and 2012), and Último viernes (2008). Her most recent books, Claudia Lars: La niña que vio una salamandra (2020) and Prudencia Ayala: La niña con pájaros en la cabeza (2021) are the first two volumes of her "Colección Siemprevivas" series dedicated to the stories of more than 40 women who were born or lived in El Salvador between the 18th and 20th centuries. Her work has been translated into English, French, German, and Swedish. Since 2009, she has combined literature, performance, memory, and politics in public space. She is a doctorate candidate in History from the Colegio de México, and her thesis investigates the relationships between Central American unity, citizenship, and exile. She earned her master's in History from El Colegio de México (2016) and the Universidad de Huelva, Spain (2013).
