I was born and raised in Venezuela. I started my bilingual career in 2007 soon after I graduated high school in Savannah, GA (class of 2006) while pursuing a degree in graphic design. I have also had the honor to serve in the United States Marine Corps.  

 

Since the beginning of my career, I have had the privilege of working and interacting with people from all types of backgrounds. Having native-like fluency in both languages (I am able to speak, read and write both), have helped me become a communication bridge in different communities making a difference in people's lives on a regular basis, which I could not find more rewarding.
