Our Team
Spanish Across Borders is led by a team of migrants united by a shared vision of empowerment and connection. Mariia Korotkova, a Ukrainian emigrant and senior UX/UI designer, partnered with Edward Gudeman, a lawyer and humanitarian, to create a platform where refugees teach Spanish, share their stories, and build community.
They are joined by Denis Montoya, a Nicaraguan refugee and doctor, who brings his passion for education and support to the project. Together, they are redefining opportunities for migrants and refugees through language and resilience.
