About Dr. Melva Persico
Caribbean-rooted higher education consultant and language specialist with international experience.
I grew up in the Caribbean, fell in love with languages and never looked back. With a Ph.D. in Romance Studies (Spanish) from the University of Miami and years of experience as an educator, researcher, author, translator, and editor, I've had the privilege of working with institutions and individuals in different parts of the world. What I enjoy most is the collaboration, sitting with a client to understand what they're really trying to say or accomplish, and then helping them get there. Whether that's redesigning a language program, translating a critical document, or polishing a manuscript until it shines, I bring both expertise and genuine investment to every project.
"Dr. Persico is an exceptional educational professional and subject-matter expert, whose contributions over several years have been invaluable to the quality and integrity of the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency (CAPE) Spanish examinations."
