Astrid Girlesa U.

I am a bilingual (English-Spanish) consultant with professional experience in strategic surveillance, competitive intelligence, and information management. ​ With a strong background in innovation, co-creation, and technology management, I have mentored and advised public and private sector organizations, authored articles and a book chapter on social innovation, and delivered virtual training in information skills, copyright, bibliographic standards, and scientometric analysis. Detail-oriented and highly skilled in digital tools, I ensure fast, reliable, and informed consultations tailored to each client’s goals. I also provide expert guidance on visa applications for the U.S. (B1, B2, J1), Canada (tourist and study permits), and the UK (visitor and student visas), offering personalized support in application strategy, documentation, form completion, and interview preparation.
