Additional Information
I am only fluent in Spanish, but am familiar with the English language as I have been around it for over 16 years. I came to this country in 2007 and I have been self-employed ever since because I did not meet the requirements to work in a company. I became a permanent resident in June of 2024 and now have that opportunity and I am excited to start this new chapter in my career.
