Patricia Martinez, Spanish Translator
I am an immigrant from Peru. When I arrived in Eugene, Oregon in April 2002 with my 5-year-old daughter, I did not speak English and it was difficult to navigate the US educational system. Today I am a translator and I love helping families to participate in the education of their children. We parents must be the best cheerleaders for our children.
