I can help you reach all Hispanics. I grew up in Acapulco, Mexico. I’ve been speaking English since I was 13 and love the language!

Hola!

I grew up in Acapulco, a touristic place that receives millions of English speaking people per year. My father always pushed me to learn English to take advantage of that, because he though I could make a living serving the tourists. He was an uneducated man whose dream was for me to finish some level of education, like Elementary or Junior High. Little he knew that I would pursue a career in technology and use English to read books written in that language, which put me a step ahead of my classmates who were not interested in learning it. All credit goes to my Dad for having a vision and helping me to become an educated person.

I came to the United States for the first time in 2001, only to find out that my English was very poor. All the slang, idioms, multiple accents and the street language! I pushed the reset button and engaged in the journey of learning and educating all my senses to be able to grasp the context and proper meaning of what I was being said, in order to keep up with a conversation without offending or sounding disrespectful. 

My learning process never stops, and I grew up in the age of paper dictionaries, which I still enjoy using to stir my learning improvement in the right direction. At the same time, I try to keep up with the multiple changes in these times.

My favorite books to read are those of science fiction, technology, one or two novels, as well as leadership and motivation. I think that ideas coming from English authors need to be shared with the world, and I'm sure I can be instrumental to produce an accurate translation to Spanish so Latin America can have access to the knowledge and wisdom that the world needs to be better. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you and be part of your writing success.

Keep the stories coming, I'll make sure all my Hispanic amigos get them in their own language!
