Author bio

I'm a woman who loves the Lord! Most of my experience relates either to languages or working with horses (I've been riding since I was 10). I have a Spanish degree and also speak Italian and Portuguese at a beginner level. I am also working to pick up some American Sign Language and I can recognize a few words in Chinese. I have always loved horses and have a background in starting young horses under saddle. I became interested in writing during the pandemic as a way in which I could improve my language skills either by writing blogs in a foreign language or by translating my own work.
