What I'm looking for

I am especially drawn to remote roles that value cross-cultural perspective, adaptability, and thoughtful coordination—whether in education-adjacent environments or across other mission-driven, operational, or communication-focused roles. I enjoy work that connects people, ideas, and processes, and I am open to exploring opportunities where these strengths can add value.

I am a remote-ready, trilingual professional with six years of international experience in roles centered on communication, coordination, and project-based work, and I hold dual U.S.–Mexico citizenship.

My background is rooted in education, where I developed strong skills in managing projects, synthesizing complex information, designing structured materials, and supporting individuals across diverse cultural and linguistic contexts. These experiences translate naturally to roles that require organization, collaboration, and clear written and interpersonal communication.
