Gitzel Puente | Multilingual Founder

Fluent in English, Spanish, and French, I am a lover of languages and cultures. I provide professional translation services through Puente Pro, LLC.

​​

The business name was inspired by my family name Puente, which means Bridge in Spanish. I noticed a gap in language access services in the community during the pandemic, and I was determined to change that by bridging the language barrier.

​

I am a native Spanish speaker born to Mexican parents, and I grew up in Arizona. Being bilingual from an early age, I naturally became the bridge between cultures, which fueled my passion for languages. 

​

As the first bilingual Communications Officer at the City of Tulsa, I translated documents for various departments, ensuring effective communication across diverse communities. Even before launching Puente Pro, I had been providing translation services to individuals and organizations since 2013, all while balancing a career as a full-time news reporter and anchor in California and Oklahoma.
