During this period, what was intended to be a project for Latin American people, ended up becoming a multicultural and multilingual space for entertainment, conversation, and coexistence for inhabitants (immigrants and non-immigrants) of Philadelphia, and New Jersey, with various sets of nationalities and mother languages in the mix.

I love editorial production, both on print and digital platforms, and I love offering my clients the highest quality, accuracy, and clear understanding of the text, together with the images and other materials that make up the complete assembly.In addition to my editing, translation, and writing skills, I have a sharp sense of good taste, as well as editorial suitability and pertinence. I can identify the needs of my clients for the specific objectives and audiences they intend to reach. In addition to this, I have the best arsenal of memes and music that have earned me the title of Stephen Hawkin of comedy and the wondrous hunter of sounds. Currently, I give Spanish tutorials for non-speakers of this language who have various goals in the Spanish-speaking world. In addition to allowing them to understand the language in a more organic way, they learn to identify the slippery phrases and words that, depending on the context, can bring them reward or punishment amongst other Spanish speakers (depending on the country they are traveling to).
