I am a Texan-born English translator with a PhD in Communication.

As a freelance translator, I translate
documents and audio files from Portuguese and Spanish to English. I
possess fluency in both languages (in reading, writing, speaking, and
comprehension), skills which are bolstered by the past five years in which I
have lived in the cities of Barcelona, Spain, and Porto Alegre, Brazil. In this
period, I also made several trips as a researcher and traveler throughout the
different countries of Latin America. These experiences, together with my
academic formation, have contributed to my understanding of the variety of
dialects, accents, and customs that shape the linguistic content of these (and
all) languages.

Moreover, my fluency in Spanish and
Portuguese is certified by the Universitat de Barcelona in Barcelona, and by the
Viva Brasil language school in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
