Theresa Edwards is a researcher, language enthusiast, and digital storyteller based in Los Angeles, California. At the age of 12, she decided that she wanted to become fluent in Spanish and work in Latin America–a path that she has followed ever since.

In addition to Spanish, Theresa has studied Quechua, Nahuatl, and most recently, Brazilian Portuguese. She enjoys sharing her love of languages with others as a private tutor and freelance translator. Theresa has conducted research in Bolivia, Peru and Mexico. Her diverse work background also includes experiences in international affairs and immigration law.

Theresa graduated from Occidental College in 2018 with a B.A. in Diplomacy & World Affairs and Spanish Literature. She is currently a M.A. student in the Latin American Studies program at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with concentrations in history, geography, and digital humanities.

In her free time, Theresa enjoys hiking, going to botanical gardens, exploring new coffee shops, and snuggling with her cats, Mateo and May.
