I have been translating, interpreting and teaching for twenty-five years. At first, fully focused in translating and interpreting, and just occasionally teaching. Thirteen of those years as a Government employee, I worked for the Port Authority in Uruguay, a big organization with over two thousand employees, by that time. I dealt with documents related to: Accounting; Finance; International Banks and Organizations Agreements; Quotations and Purchasing; Port Equipment (cranes, tugboats, dredgers, etc.) and Operations (Containers and Terminals, Shipment, Loading and Unloading, etc.) Operatorion´s Manuals (Employees Trainig Center); articles and brochures; faxes, telex and phone calls. Interpreting foreign visitors on business to our Port and International Organizations Representatives.

I was assigned to the Mining and Geology Administration for four years dealing with papers and reports concerning the mining operative area and Law procedures to perform mining activity in Uruguay.

I have taught English at the Uruguayan Public and Private School Systems: Middle-School, Preps and Adult courses. Technical English for Mechanic and Graphic Design students and Business English (Cambridge BEC VANTAGE) for Business Management students. I have also taught IN-COMPANY (Pfizer and Toepfer Int.) and IN-HOUSE.

After retirement from the Government´s activity I worked Freelance for: 1) United Nations/GTZ (Germany) TRAINMAR Project; 2) Graphic Arts Industry, translating manuals about reprographic; 3) Bilingual Secretary for International Labour Office and 4) Import Company related to art craft (fabric painting and Batik).

I lived in the United States and I took the Praxis Series I and II at the Clark Atlanta University to get a license to teach and at the Literacy Volunteers of America/Atlanta the ESL teachers training course. I volunteered at the Catholic Mission of Atlanta "Our Lady of the Americas" teaching English to the Spanish Community.

As a Freelance in the States I worked for 1) the Lutheran Services of Georgia - Resettlement Program assisting Cuban and Colombian expellees; 2) helping members of the Spanish Community to fill out forms and applications (job, rent, car insurance, etc); making phone calls (IRS, Health Care, Police) and escorting them to Hearings to Court (fines, child support) and 3) Chiropractor´s Office.

All those years of working in Uruguay and the United States in such varied areas have provided me with a valued background and contributed to built my knowledge and skills.

I do my best to deliver excellence, while remaining open to clients´suggestions.
