Introduction: "Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder." --Rumi
In this age of digital communication and virtual connections, our words are the most powerful tools that we possess. Language creates the path to our goals, but it must be harnessed properly in order to yield the results we desire.
I am a Los Angeles-based writing coach, editor, proofreader and Spanish-English translator specializing in AP and MLA styles. I earned an undergraduate degree in Spanish with a minor in journalism, and spent 10 years living in the Caribbean perfecting my Spanish skills. I also have a Master's degree in Nonprofit Management with a certificate in Sustainability Strategies, with working knowledge on a wide variety of subjects. I am a freelance editor for clients such as The Hollywood Reporter and small nonprofits. I have also worked on children's books and Spanish transcription.
I love language, and I am dedicated to helping you organize your ideas, and generally customize your pieces to meet your goals!

Over the past two years Mandy has been my right-hand woman when it comes to helping me edit my press releases for work. She always gives each press release her creative touch and catches the small grammar mistakes I inevitably make. I've learned a lot about grammar and writing through her edits and she always provides helpful and critical feedback. Most recently, Mandy edited some personal documents that I needed to send out right away. I sent her the request and she responded with thorough edits and thoughtful suggestions in the same day! She is reliable, accountable, professional and a fantastic editor. I would highly recommend her for all your writing, editing and translation needs.

I am a Dominican adopted by New York City 6 years ago, and even though I'm fluent in English, in professional communications Mandy has been my personal translator/reviewer for anything I do. I'm a multimedia producer, and she translates and reviews all of my e-mails, letters and even my scripts and web content. It is delightful to work with her. She is sweet, responsible and is always looking out for your best interest. Great person and professional!

Mandy provided me with high quality editing services for an essay that I wrote in Spanish. Not only did she revise the grammar and language nuances, but she also assisted with enhancing the content and organization of the essay. Her turnaround time was impressive, especially given the amount of detail she put into editing the essay. I enthusiastically recommend her services!

Mandy was responsive, understanding and thorough. She provided me with comprehensive explanations and suggestions for how to improve my texts. I will certainly be sending more work Mandy's way.
