I believe in connecting the consumers with the company. As a heritage speaker in the U.S., I learned to appreciate speaking two languages, English and Spanish. Different perspectives in languages and cultures create the United States we know today, one in which dual-cultural households do exist. According to the Constitution, our founding fathers declared no official language of the United States. Today the growing U.S. Spanish-speaking population only serves as a reminder to develop communication campaigns in both Spanish and English. I am bi-lingual in Spanish and I'm a dual-citizen of Spain (European Union). -Natalia
