Puerto Rico

In the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, I embarked in a new experience, propelled by a mix of personal need and urgency to do something for my fellow Puerto Ricans in need. After Hurricane Maria and this job, my life priorities have shifted, my creative juices have flowed more than ever, I have honed my time-management skills, and discovered so many aspects of Puerto Rican society that this may have been my most personally rewarding job experience yet. Moreover, I was open for freelance assignments while at this job, managing to copy-edit one book, proofread three others, contribute textbook content for Ediciones SM, and be content creator/community manager for a social media account while at this job.
