Claudia was born and raised in Mexico. Upon graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication , she decided to go to France to teach Spanish and to improve her French. She had been a French teacher in Mexico, and a Spanish teacher in France. She is convinced that learning can and should be fun and interesting.

Literature and language are her two greatest passions in life. She completed a master’s degree in Literary Translation in France and had the chance to work in literary festivals as a French-English-Spanish translator.

French has been the language of her daily life for the past six years and it’s a language that has opened a door to another culture and another way of life. She is now learning Cantonese, hoping to open another door.
