​¡Bienvenidos​!
¡Mucho gusto!​​

From the far east to the far west: I am Luz Elena Miranda Valencia, Lic. I have over 30 years of experience in the language and teaching fields, and I am originally from Lima, Peru. I studied in Munich, Germany after I was awarded my bachelor´ s degree in translation in Lima, Peru. I have worked in the United States for eighteen years now. Currently, I am  based in Orland, a picturesque town in California.  The city of Tampa, in Florida, inspired me to make this website some years ago when I used to live in the far east of the United States.

In Florida I enjoyed the breeze of the sea and the richness of the ocean. In northern California, I enjoy the peacefulness and the richness of trees.  I will be so glad 
to be in tune with your performance goals as part of your team.
