Katherine Stanley Obando

I write about Costa Rica, its unique slang and my experiences raising a child abroad on my blog The Dictionary of You. I'm the Arts & Entertainment Editor at The Tico Times, a blogger at The Huffington Post, the English Communications Assistant to Nobel Peace Laureate Oscar Arias, and an experienced freelance writer, editor and translator. As the Senior Development Officer at the Costa Rica-USA (CRUSA) Foundation and the director of JumpStart Costa Rica, I work to connect educational and environmental projects in Costa Rica with partner institutions, donors and volunteers around the world. I live in San José with my husband and daughter.
