Her research centers on Latin American literature with a focus on recent Mexican and post-Soviet Cuban narrative. She explores the interplay between aesthetic strategies, literary theory, and writing context, particularly in politically and socially charged narratives. Her work engages with themes such as violence, memory, representation, and authorial identity in contemporary fiction.

Her scholarly publications show a strong trend in analyzing narrative structures in works by authors like Yuri Herrera, Cristina Rivera Garza, and Ena Lucía Portela. The articles reflect deep engagement with metafiction, political allegory, social critique, and cultural memory, particularly in the context of Mexico and Cuba. She frequently examines how literature responds to historical trauma and ideological shifts.
