Dylana is a PhD student in Latin American Literature and Culture. Her research interests include border identity, postcolonialism, feminism, and collective memory in Latinx/Latin American theatre and performance. 

Dylana has previously taught Spanish at Bowling Green State University as a graduate teaching associate while earning her master's and as an adjunct instructor. Her master's project analyzed the lasting legacy of la Malinche in 20th and 21st century art and media. This project incorporated selected works from the 2021 Denver Art Museum exhibition "Traitor, Survivor, Icon: The Legacy of La Malinche," historical research and an interview with one of the exhibition's curators, Victoria I. Lyall, to analyze the ever-shifting cultural perspectives surrounding the Indigenous interpreter. Dylana presented this project at BGSU's annual Latinx Issues Conference in 2024 and aims to expand her research to include interpretations of Malinche and other feminine figures of the Mexican imaginary in theatre and performance.
