Estefanía Galindo Navarro

¡Hola! Hello! Bonjour!

My name is Estefanía Galindo Navarro, and I am from Barranquilla, Colombia. I am a Ph.D. student in Spanish linguistics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison (UW-Madison). I joined the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at UW-Madison in Fall 2021, where I have worked as a Spanish teaching assistant in intermediate-level language courses as well as a project assistant.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Foreign Languages at the Universidad del Atlántico in my hometown Barranquilla, Colombia (2018). Besides, I had the opportunity to work as an English teacher for 6 years at the same university. I completed a diploma in Pedagogy and Didactics of Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language at the Caro y Cuervo Institute in Colombia (2020). I am currently a Reach International Ambassador at UW-Madison and am interested in conducting further research on the contact of indigenous languages, Palenquero and Colombian Caribbean Spanish at the phonetic, phonological, and sociolinguistic levels.
