Meet Isa

What inspired me to want to learn Portuguese is mainly that I want a third language, and it's pretty easy to learn Portugese as a Spanish speaker. In those languages, for "Hello", it would be Hola and Olá."

Do you have pets?:

"I do not unfortunately. If I did though, I would probably have 30 cats."

Have you traveled? Where have you traveled to?:

"I have traveled to Brazil, the Bahamas, Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, the United States, Canada, Italy, Portugal and Spain. I can say that my trip to Mexico is one I remember very vividly. I went with family, and we stayed in a beautiful resort, and the food was amazing. My cruise trip to Bahamas was also very fun."

What do you do for work?:

"My last job was working for an internship at a tech company. While there, I was working for the advertising team where I assisted with rebranding for the company. It was my first time working in corporate advertising, which was different, as my previous experience had been with agencies. It made me realize not only how much I liked what I was doing but how much I preferred the corporate world over the agency world."

Is there anything else you would like to say to students in the United States?:

"I would like to let you guys know to not be afraid to try new things in life; to spend as much time as possible with your family; and to have fun with your friends."
