Ashley Mentel

Project Manager
985.809.0600, ext 227

Born and raised in Louisiana, I pursued my passion for languages and cultures by earning two degrees from Southeastern University—one in World Languages and Cultures with a focus on Spanish, and another in TESOL with a minor in psychology. My thirst for knowledge and cultural immersion led me to study abroad at the prestigious University of Salamanca in Spain. Additionally, I conducted a transformative month-long auto-ethnographic research journey in El Salvador, further deepening my appreciation for my Salvadoran heritage. Drawing from my experiences, I ventured into the world of education, working as an ESL instructor abroad, proudly operating my business, La Tribu 985, which specializes in English/Spanish translation and ESL programs. Our dedication to promoting linguistic and cultural unity on the Northshore was recognized when La Tribu 985 was featured in the esteemed "Sophisticated Women of the Northshore's" magazine. As a Salvadoran-American, I consider it an honor to empower individuals, integrating them as valuable members of our society. Beyond my work, I am an avid traveler, hiker, and enthusiast of indigenous cultures. Embracing my love for food and culinary adventures, I thoroughly enjoy cooking and exploring the diverse culinary landscape.

  • Random Facts about me
