Candidates About
I seek opportunities to facilitate multicultural collaboration among groups by enhancing communication
and by helping overcome linguistic and cultural barriers. Born and raised in Perú, I am a native Spanish
speaker fully proficient in both oral and written communication. English, my second language, is not
only my passion but one in which I have specialized and have full command of, with special emphasis on
Legal, Business, Literary, Technical, and Oil & Gas subjects.
