Experienced language service provider specializing in translation and interpreting.

What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to leverage my language skills in meaningful ways, ideally in collaborative environments that value cultural exchange and communication.

I have been immersed in the world of languages since 2005, beginning my journey at Universidad de la Tierra in Oaxaca, Mexico. My passion for language and expression naturally led me to translation, and I have since translated over 5 million words across various fields including business, law, and education. My love for languages extends beyond English, as I have studied Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian, enriching my understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures.

In addition to translation, I have honed my skills in interpreting, editing, and writing. My educational background includes a Master’s degree in Conference Interpreting from the University of La Laguna in Spain, and I am currently pursuing an MA in Peace, Development, Security, and International Conflict Transformation at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. I have provided interpreting services for numerous international conferences, showcasing my ability to facilitate communication in high-stakes environments.
