What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities to coach and teach languages or provide translation services, using empathetic communication, multilingual expertise, and educational technology.

I’ve coached English and Spanish since 2020 and taught learners ranging from toddlers and schoolchildren to teens, adults, and business professionals in Spain and Italy.

I also bring translation experience across English, Spanish, Slovenian, Croatian, German, and Serbian, including work for Summerwind, literary publishing, tourist offers, and advertising.
