Alejandra Schwarz is using her bilingual skills to make lifesaving information more accessible within Spanish-speaking communities.

Alejandra joined our Multicultural Communications team in 2024, not long after earning her bachelor's degree. She volunteers to support our Translator Hub, which is responsible for translating and proofreading materials like fliers, press releases, social media posts and more — essential during times of disaster.

"The Red Cross is always on the ground anytime there is a disaster, helping communities regardless of who they are," Alejandra said. "While I can’t always be there in person, using my skills to support those selfless people on the ground is an incredible way to contribute.” 

What Alejandra finds most rewarding about her role is bridging language gaps and providing vital information to those who need it most. 

"Life can feel isolating, but when we go out of our way to help others, we’re reminded of the kindness, love, and community that surrounds us," Alejandra said.

Alejandra was one of the first terminology interns on our Multicultural Communications team. Now, earning her master's degree in translation, Alejandra plans to continue supporting our lifesaving mission as she grows her career. 

Thanks to passionate and dedicated volunteers like Alejandra, more communities around the country have access to lifesaving information and support. You can help, too — learn more about our open positions by tapping the link in our bio.
