What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values social justice and allows me to utilize my language skills to make a positive impact.

I am a dedicated Spanish language educator with extensive experience in translation, editing, proofreading, and transcription. My bilingual proficiency in Spanish and English allows me to effectively communicate and engage with diverse populations. I have a proven track record of preparing students for the AP Spanish Language and Culture exam, fostering global citizenship, and promoting social justice, particularly in refugee and legal services.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Translator, Editor, and Spanish Professor. I founded and directed a program focused on refugee, immigration, and legal services, creating impactful relationships with marginalized communities. My commitment to social justice drives my work, and I am eager to bring my expertise to a government or confidential role as a Spanish Linguistic Specialist, where I can make a meaningful impact.
