What do you attribute your success to?
While I’ve always been fascinated by technology—having grown up during the rise of computers in the 90s and 2000s—I have to give credit where it’s due. Much of my recent success is thanks to my boss, Hana Laurenzo, founder and CEO of Teneo Linguistics Company. She’s the reason I ventured into digital accessibility, not only for the growth of the company but for the benefit of the clients we serve worldwide. Hana paved the way by providing encouragement, funding for training and tools, and leading by example. Her leadership style is both inspiring and empowering—she demonstrates how to conduct business with integrity while valuing people first. She also fosters a healthy work–life balance, allowing me to be present for my children and fully dedicated to my role. I’m truly grateful to be part of such a dynamic, purpose-driven team that’s making a global impact—one word at a time.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of my current challenges—and greatest opportunities—is completing the certification process for web accessibility compliance, which is required to work with government departments. While I’ve gained extensive experience in document accessibility, expanding my expertise into accessible web design is the next step in my professional growth. Each milestone in this process pushes me to learn more, refine my skills, and contribute to creating a more inclusive digital world.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
I value joy, connection, freedom and family life above all else. I am deeply passionate about music, dancing and attending live shows and festivals—these things bring a great deal of energy, happiness and balance into my life. I’m also the proud mother of three beautiful girls, who are my greatest inspiration, and I've been happily married to my wonderful husband of 10 years, who has shown me the kind of love only written in storybooks. The loss of loved ones has taught me to value the things that money can't buy, and to always cherish the people around me, along with the moments we experience together. In my work, I’m grateful to take part in projects that make a positive difference in the world. Knowing that what I do helps others and contributes to something meaningful is incredibly fulfilling—it allows me to blend my passion for creativity with my purpose in life.
