I’m an Argentinian-born Australian writer. From a very early age, I developed a keen interest in creative writing, both in English and in Spanish. I’m the proud mum of an adult daughter, and I’ve always been a working mother.

I’ve got 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).

My work experience is diverse: I’ve worked teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) and ELE (Español Como Lengua Extranjera; Spanish As A Second Language); as an English–Spanish / Spanish–English translator; as a graphic and web designer, and as an IT trainer and technical writer.

I’ve also been an aikido student and became an aikido first dan with the American Aikido Federation. I’m a keen pursuer of fitness-related activities and believe in mindfulness and meditation as a tool for self-development.

Apart from being a bit of a linguistic nerd, I’ve also been highly interested in technology and innovation, that’s why I did a Diploma in Web Development at TAFE NSW (Technical And Further Education New South Wales), Wentworth Falls, NSW, Australia. I published a book on Adobe Photoshop in Spanish under my ‘other’ name while I was still living in Argentina. These days my writing isn't technical; it's adult fiction.

Success is a journey, not a destination. It’s not so much about 'getting there', but about enjoying each and every step of the way.
