My superpower is the ability to translate thought, feeling, and vision into written language with precision and sensitivity, and then shape the words into potent narratives. As a strategic communicator, I craft stories with a human pulse. I am an excellent listener, observer, and close reader of texts and people, skills I have honed through my academic training and published scholarship, as well as through my work as a writer, editor, translator, and public speaker. My multicultural and multilingual background – I speak four languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, French) and was born in Chile and raised throughout the United States – propels me to connect to and collaborate with people across global and local contexts. I am excellent under pressure, a consummate team player, curious, empathic, self-driven, and always striving to learn.
