​Languages have always been part of my life. Spanish is the language of my heart, English the cultural vision of the world, and French the language of love and literature. Transmitting and translating is what I have naturally done. This is the thread that runs through almost all of my work decisions.

 

Languages must, above all, in my eyes, are sources of fun and openness to new possibilities. Because each person has their own unique way of learning, I use games, singing, physical movements, manual activities and story-telling. 

The other half of my job is translating literature, and that goes beyond just putting words on paper: it's about making a whole culture understandable and reachable.

​

She was raised in a multicultural family. Her passion for languages and cultures led her to travel the world in search of linguistic understanding and alternative methods of early learning. She is inspired by Maria Montessori and her child-centered educational approach, as well as by Howard Gardner, who proposed the Multiple Intelligence Theory in the late '70s. She is part of a group called "Innovation in Education." Julien Peron started this association in 2014 with the idea that education is the key to everything.
