About Me / Acerca de Mí

I was born in Ecuador and immigrated to the United States as a young boy with my family. I now live in Denver, enjoying its diverse population and vast array of cultural production. I have returned to Ecuador on multiple occasions, and have also ventured to other South American countries like Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru. My fascination with the various Spanish dialects in Latin America and education in cultural studies has led me to pursue a career as a linguist, specializing in translation & interpretation and bilingual media audio production.

 

Nací en Ecuador y me mudé a los Estados Unidos con mi familia cuando era niño. Ahora vivo en Denver, donde disfruto de una población diversa y una escena cultural de amplia variedad. He regresado a Ecuador en varias ocasiones y también he viajado a otros países Latinoamericanos como Argentina, Chile, Brasil, Bolivia, y Perú. Debido a mi fascinación por los diferentes dialectos del español en Latinoamérica y a mi educación en estudios culturales, he emprendido una carrera de lingüista con especialización en traducción e interpretación y producción bilingüe en medios de audio.
