Sergio is a second-year Ph.D. student in Hispanic Literature and Cultures at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaing. He originally graduated from Universidad de Granada (Spain) with a degree in Translation and Interpreting English/German <> Spanish and worked as a legal translator for a Spanish company. After that, he started an MA in Hispanic Literature and found a passion for the study of horror literature and cinema in Spain, as well as teaching Spanish as a second language, so he decided to start a Doctorate Program at UIUC where he could combine all of his research interests.
