Maricarmen says she loves teaching and has been in the academic world all her professional life. She notes that in law language is very important, so she is passionate about good Spanish. Her English fluency comes from attending a British school in Mexico since she was a child, and she has family living in the Chicago area. She also tells us that she enjoys the process of translating EDR and helping more people in Latin America learn about eating disorders.
