For that reason, after moving back to Uruguay she began working as a Freelance Translator for institutes and organizations that focus on human welfare like the Love, Serve, Remember Foundation. Working for these organizations encouraged her to successfully complete her Postgraduate studies in Translation at Instituto Universitario Crandon.
