Work Experience

Pampasazone Argentine Restaurant January 2019-Present
Server Hourly Pay: 11
Supervisor: Guillermo Ribulatta Hours per week: 20

Completes general tasks required of a server, such as taking orders and bringing food to tables. Spanish fluency utilized daily, as 50% of the clientele are Spanish-speakers, and the cooks do not speak English. Additionally, lack of a full-time manager necessitates that I do other tasks, including, but not limited to, handling issues with customers, keeping track of inventory, and counting the money in the register on nights when I close.

Washington Office on Latin America Summer 2019
Intern Unpaid
Supervisor: Dr. Jo-Marie Burt

After taking a course with Dr. Burt in Fall 2018, she offered me an internship position as her assistant in Summer 2019. A senior fellow at the Washington Office on Latin America, she invited me to help her with her Trial-monitoring project in Guatemala, in which she reports on developments in the trials against military officers accused of war crimes and human rights abuses committed during the country�s internal armed conflict. General tasks included translating sections of her previous articles from English-Spanish, researching information on 20 years� worth of trials, finding qualified academics and professionals to speak at a forum, and compiling her previous articles for the International Justice Monitor into Microsoft Word documents organized by trial.

I also traveled to Guatemala with Dr. Burt from the 17th to 20th of June 2019 to sit in on meetings between survivors� groups, human rights advocates, and prosecutors on how to organize to prevent a comprehensive amnesty bill from passing through the national legislature. During the three days I was there, I assisted in general event-planning activities and logistical support.

George Mason University August 2018-August 2019
Research Assistant Hourly Pay: 12
Supervisor: Dr. Jacqueline Larssen-Serigos

After taking a linguistics course with Dr. Serigos in Spring 2018, she offered me a position as her research assistant the following semester. The project was a quantitative analysis of the perceptions in Argentina media towards the usage of Anglicisms (words that come from English) in Spanish. I was tasked with analyzing over 200 Spanish-language articles in Argentine newspapers, identifying all Anglicisms in the article, and categorizing the opinion(s) expressed towards the words, compiling all the information in Microsoft Excel. We are currently writing a draft of the project to submit to an academic journal, and by the end of August 2019, I will have written the methodology and results sections to said draft.

Our project was accepted to present at the International Linguistic Association�s 64th Annual Conference in Buenos Aires, and we both travelled there at the end of May 2019 to share our findings.
