Mission and Vision

I strive to be the bridge from one language to another providing with an unforgettable travel experience during your stay in Peru; not letting either a cultural miss-understanding or some language barriers be an obstacle or take away the fun times of your trip. I do my best to ensure that your experience not only meets your expectations, but exceeds them as well. My primary goals are quality, safety, and efficiency; with these objectives in mind, I’m able to ensure that your trip and/or tour runs as smoothly as possible. 

I am a freelance Cross-Cultural interpreter & translator, travel & tour conductor, tour guide for international travelers and missions teams coming to work, serve, or visit Peru. I enjoy traveling all over Peru and other countries as well. I like visiting new places and learning the new cultures, customs, traditions and trying the local cuisine.

Over the past decade, I've had the opportunity to meet the Quichua people from El Tambo, Ecuador; Los Chonos and Los Yamanas from Punta Arenas, Chile; the Zapotecs in Oaxaca, Mexico; the Tehuelches in Calafate, Argentina; and the Quechua and the Ashanica in Peru. In all my travels, I have come to love the different peoples and their unique cultures.

I have a teaching degree in English and am a self-taught would-be professional photographer. I prefer to be out traveling and looking through my camera lens instead of being stuck in an office looking through the window!

For the last 10 years I've been serving and traveling with Reap North and Connect Peru (branches of the International Mission Board). Over the years working with these various groups, I've developed a passion for serving as a bridge between people of different languages and cultures.
