Alba Constenla Torrado, Ph.D.
ProfessorSchool of Languages & Literature
Originally from Galicia, Spain, I moved to the U.S. in 2014 and earned my Ph.D. at UC Santa Barbara. I teach Spanish with a focus on heritage and bilingual speakers, emphasizing identity, culture, and belonging. I strive to make my classes a space where students feel respected and connected to their language.
