Nina grew up speaking a high level of Spanish and English every day, and living in both the American and Mexican cultures. The years of teaching, consulting, and translating in the U.S. have equipped her to open doors and help you achieve success in your cross-border enterprises.

In Mexico, Nina served at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City as an official liaison for American business people who requested close support in meetings and trade shows. Among other services, Nina stood with these business people in their booths, not only translating in both directions, but actively assisting them to tailor and present their messages in ways that speak compellingly to the Latin American.

Nina has taught cultural differences to companies and individuals who recognize the need to interact more effectively with their counterparts from another culture. Her presentations and close-support services are designed to meet the specific needs of your organization. Her material offers a unique perspective, and is always full of fascinating true stories and case histories drawn from her years of service. She serves U.S. businesses looking for better communication with their Hispanic workforce, as well as executives doing business in Mexico and Latin America.

      "I am elated today, having just spoken in Spanish with my first colleague from Mexico! Nina's classes give me not only the proper words, grammar and pronunciation to display conversation, but also a demeanor which would impress my new colleague. It is incredibly empowering to speak to a new partner in their native language. Without classes with Nina, I would not have the confidence or the skill to do so! Thank you Nina!"
      ~ Krista Muddle, National Park Service Denver Colorado

      “Nina has provided reliable advice that shows her years of experience in communicating between two very different business cultures and languages. My advice now is don’t try it alone. Doing the job right means getting this kind of help from the get-go, when business relationships with Spanish-speakers are just being created.”
      ~ Brian Price, Denver Colorado
