Bio
I translate from Spanish to English and English to Spanish. The types of materials I routinely handle are financial statements, academic articles related to political science and economics, legal agreements and contracts, general medical documents, tourism brochures and websites, educational material, and more.

I conduct careful research when translating to ensure accuracy and efficiency and I always deliver my projects on time.

I am a native English and native Spanish speaker who grew up primarily in Latin America, therefore I am very familiar with the Latin American culture and nuances to the language as well as with the slang encountered in different countries.

As an avid scuba-diver and rock-climber I have become quite familiar with the language of adventure sports in both English and Spanish. I also love to travel and indulge in all a new country has to offer and hence am knowledgeable of language related to tourism, food, wine, and art.

Having taught both English and Spanish, I understand the best way to make a point come across in either language.

I have experience in academic editing in the areas of political science, economics, and world events. From my time at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and previously at Saude Crianca Renascer I became very knowledgeable in the area of global health. My experience at the Gates Foundation has also made me an expert in the field of contracts.

I have been a part-time freelance translator since 2005 and became a full-time freelancer at the beginning of 2008; furthermore, I have always done some translation and interpretation in most of the positions I've held since 1998.

I also do voice-overs in both English and Spanish. To see a video I narrated recently click here: www.investchile.cl

I look forward to collaborating with you!
