I had the privilege of working with Isidra Mencos in the very important personal project of writing my life journey in both my mother language, Spanish, and my adopted language, English. Isidra got my voice throughout, and wrote my story in a masterful way that captured my Spanish heritage as well as my English current life, showing her command of the craft. I found great pleasure in working with Isidra during sessions that focused on getting to my most intimate memories. She knows how to ask, how to inspire trust, and how to tell an engaging story. I look forward to a future that will get us together again, to collaborate on other projects where her impeccable ethics, talent, and passion for the craft will continue to shine.

Isidra brings a valuable blend of editorial skills and deep knowledge of the Hispanic market to her work. As Editor of New Parent en Español Isidra was responsible for crafting content and developing relationships and she excels at both. Isidra is a talented professional with a wide breadth of skills.

Isidra's talent as an editor and writer, and her impeccable professionalism have always been a source of inspiration through the 12 + years that we have been working together. It is always a pleasure and an enriching experience to work under her guidance.

Isidra worked for me for many years at Time Inc, where she edited Spanish-language publications for parents. I also freelanced for her at BabyCenter.com, producing content in English. As both an editor and a manager, Isidra's work is everything you can ask for: She's outstanding at formulating and executing content for both print and online, and her assignments are carefully thought out and fully explained. Equally important, she's terrific at doctoring content that hasn't shaped up correctly. She's thoughtful, creative, energetic, and committed to delivering the best.

Digital- and business-savvy, Isidra is ever conscious of her audience's needs, making sure to engage her users and/or answer their questions with any and all content offerings.

I had the privilege of studying under Professor Mencos for two semesters at U.C. Berkeley during my undergraduate years. Her hallmark was an ability to balance her commitment to high academic standards and dedication to her students’ mastery of the material while imbuing her course with merriment. The curriculum at Berkeley was quite demanding in that it required the class to move at a very rapid pace. She was able to keep the class on schedule without coming across as a taskmaster. Instead, each semester was like an exciting ride with Professor Mencos as our guide!

Professor Isidra Mencos was my most outstanding and memorable Spanish professor at UC Berkeley. She possesses all the qualities of a well-rounded and exceptional professor. She is extremely knowledgeable in her subject area, and prepares meticulously for each lesson. She makes her lessons exciting and engaging, using a variety of techniques. Her syllabus is both ambitious and achievable. She is fair, consistent and punctual. Students always understand the educational purpose of each class, lecture, reading and assignment. I learned a lot in Isidra Mencos' course on modern Spanish literature, not only on the subject of the class, but on effective teaching itself.
