nDash.com is a content creation platform that provides brands and agencies with access to the world's top freelance writers.
I'm an American ex-pat freelance writer, teacher, and Spanish to English translator based in Veracruz, Mexico, where I live with my husband, our daughter, two dogs, and an assortment of insects that regularly find their way into my home.
I write engaging, witty content for businesses and blogs focused on bicultural and bilingual relationships and families, home decor and organization especially for homes built differently from those in North America and Europe, and general social commentary on an array of political and economic issues in the two countries I culturally straddle.
My background is in teaching ESL and social science courses, and I am an adept exam writer and evaluator of both teachers and students. I am fully bilingual and enjoy translating stories, poetry, and instructional material.
Contact me for inviting, intelligent, and original content, and if you'd like to see a specific style sample, let me know!
