Additionally, she holds an MA in Comparative Cultures and Literature (Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, 2015) and a BA in Modern Literature (Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2008).

She is a member of a collective project entitled “Archives in Transition” supported by the European Union (RISE-Marie Curie, Horizon 2020-2024) and is looking forward to the Summer 2021 Semester where she will be teaching and researching in Frankfurt, Germany, facilitated by a DAAD grant. Verónica is inquisitive and loves travelling; she has lived in many countries (Canada, USA, Germany, Italy, New Zealand) and speaks multiple languages (Spanish, Italian, French, English, and German). She practices Ashtanga yoga daily, enjoys taking care of her plants, and cooking for friends and family. You can follow her on TW: @verogomezphd
