Lucia Casas in her own words:
"I am a 4th generation Rotarian in my family. I was born and raised in Rosario, Argentina; there I
studied translation, interpretation and I became a teacher of English. I have 15 years of experience
as a freelance translator and teacher of English which are two of my truest passions in life. I moved
to NYC to pursue a MA in Translation and Interpreting in Hunter CUNY – I just graduated. I am now
interning as a translator and interpreter at the DA’s office in Manhattan. I currently enjoy learning
French, going to museums and art galleries with my life partner, Juan, visiting my sister (also a
Rotarian) in Palo Alto, CA, and going to Argentina for the Holidays. At age 15, I developed an
enthusiasm for service when my dad encouraged me to found Interact in my city. Since then, I’ve
been a part of the Rotary family where I formed friendships for life. It is in Rotary that I gained skills
that I didn’t acquire anywhere else, and that is why today, I choose to continue my path in a new
club hoping to keep giving and always learning something back."
