Born and raised in Santiago de Chile, from a young age, Paulina dreamed about traveling the world and experience life through different cultures. She was studying a BA in English Linguistics and literature in the University of Chile, when she got an opportunity she couldn’t resist. A prestigious job with one of the biggest and most diverse airlines in the world at the time. She moved to Dubai following her dream and traveled the world for 7 years.
During this time she obtained certificates to teach Spanish as a second language and education sociology. Life took her to Minnesota, where she started working for the local School district and obtained a certificate to become a community interpreter. Working with community was something that filled her heart, the following year she joined World Speaks Omaha (WSO) as an interpreter and Spanish instructor.
“The past few years have taught me so much about the importance of working with community, how powerful we can be together and how change can make a difference. It is a privilege to work with such a great group of people who seek powerful changes and who also want to see a better and more equitable world”
