The only translator of Polish literature in Argentina. Has been translating continuously since 2005. She was born in Argentina, but Polish was her mother tongue. She only began to speak Spanish in primary school, and she wrote and spoke Polish. The Polish Educational Society in Argentina (an organ of the Polish Association in Argentina) gave her the opportunity to complete her Polish study at an intermediate level. As a student of Filosofia y Letras (Philosophy and Letters) at the University of Buenos Aires, she also studied Polish philology during a two-year course of private study with Waleria Fuksa, MA, Buenos Aires.
