I’m an Argentine-born Australian writer. From a very early age, I developed a keen interest in creative writing, both in English and in Spanish. I have a degree in ESL (English as a Second Language) and English studies from Instituto Nacional Superior del Profesorado ‘Joaquín V. González’ (Buenos Aires, Argentina). I’m also a NAATI-certified English–Spanish translator (National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters Ltd, Australia) and have completed a Diploma in Web Development at TAFE NSW (Technical And Further Education New South Wales) Wentworth Falls NSW, Australia. My work experience is diverse: I’ve worked as an ESL teacher (English as a Second Language) and an ELE teacher (Español como Lengua Extranjera: Spanish as a Second Language). I’ve also clocked up substantial hours of experience as an English–Spanish / Spanish–English translator, a graphic and web designer, and an IT trainer and technical writer. I’ve also been an aikido student and I became an aikido shodan (first dan) with the American Aikido Federation. I’m a keen pursuer of fitness-related activities and believe in mindfulness and meditation as tools for self-development.
