My name is Yam-Nick Menéndez Rivero. I am originally from Cuba and have lived in Texas since 2003. I hold a Bachelor of Laws degree from the Central University of Las Villas in Cuba, a Master’s degree in Teaching and Learning the Spanish Language and Its Culture from the University of Granada in Spain, and a Ph.D. in Spanish Literature, also from the University of Granada.

Before relocating to Mexico, I served as a judge in Cuba. In Mexico, I practiced law for several years and taught at the university level. Since 2005, I have been working as a teacher in the United States. I enjoy reading and traveling.
