His role in the campaign:
"My job is to ensure we translate the campaign messaging in a way that every Spanish speaker understands, working with the challenges of Spanish, which has more than 25 differences between each country. We acknowledge that many Latinos prefer to hear things in their native language. That's why we have this humongous challenge to translate almost everything that this campaign produces."
His story:
"I'm from Puerto Rico. Even though I am a US citizen, I feel like an immigrant. I just came here two years ago. This is for me like another county, because we speak only Spanish in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico and New York have a very strong relationship, so for me I feel very connected."
"Being Puerto Rican in this campaign has shown me how significant it is to have diversity. I think that having people from different background enriches the campaign. Just being here and raising issues related to Puerto Rico is very powerful and speaks volumes about the commitment to diversity in this campaign."
How he stays connected to his Puerto Rican roots:
"I always speak in Spanish. It's not that I don't know English, but for me, it's a way to keep connected to my community. I'm friends with the Latinos in the campaign. I think it's because I can connect deeper with the Latino staff, and I feel so proud and excited about that. We created a sense of community: the Latino family. We always nurture that sense of community within the campaign."
