Although I currently have a full-time job, which occupies most of my time, on a request basis, I offer varied services, such as:

- Spanish/English Interpretation and translation
- Editing and proofreading (9-12, undergrad, commercial copy)
- Language tutoring (English, Spanish, French)
- Intercultural communication consulting
- Orientation for first-time/entry-level job seekers
- Orientation for novice public speakers
- Press writing in English and Spanish

Born and mostly raised in eastern Caracas, Venezuela. In 2011, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Global Studies and French from South Dakota State University. I also have a very strong journalism background, from my university studies in Venezuela.

I have had a passion for intercultural communication, travel, and languages ever since I can remember.

I speak Spanish, English and French. Interpreting is one of my favorite things: I interpret and translate from English to Spanish and viceversa nearly on a daily basis. Traveling is a very close second: I have been to many cities in the US, France, Venezuela, Curacao, Aruba, Puerto Rico, St. Martin/Sint Maarten, and Iran.

In my free time, I like to read, spend time with my husband Mike, engage in productive conversation, blog, dance, cook and take photos.
