BLOG EDITOR
(Volunteer) Yedda Araújo, Brazilian by birth, American by choice. She graduated in Marketing & Advertising, but languages have always been her passion, so she’s been working as a translator and interpreter since 2011.
While talking to Ingrid one day about the blog posts, she was asked to help out and review them. Therefore, she started doing it in April 2021, and she hopes you like them! In her free time, Yedda likes to swim, travel, and go to as many museums, and rock concerts as she can afford.

CONTENT DIRECTOR
Livia is an integrated marketing, branding, and communications professional, who prefers to call herself a storyteller.
In 2009, she moved from Brazil to NYC. You know, the whole "American Dream" spiel. After years of being fascinated with information, writing, and the English language, she graduated from St. John’s University in 2016 with a B.S degree in Journalism (no pun intended). In 2021, she concluded my M.S. in Corporate Communications and PR at NYU.
She loves to write about saudade.
