Bilingual translator and interpreter delivering clear, empathetic communication for clients.
What I'm looking for
I am a bilingual Translator and Interpreter who delivers clear, effective communication in fast-paced, client-facing environments. I combine strong customer service instincts with a detail-oriented, empathetic approach to ensure every interaction feels professional and culturally accurate.
In my current role as an Over-the-Phone Interpreter (OPI), I handle 40–60 daily English-Spanish interpretation calls across multiple industries. I manage confidential information while providing accurate, culturally appropriate communication and reliable support under pressure.
I also support bilingual hosting and client assistance for an international EMBA group in Peru, coordinating activities independently and ensuring a well-organized, culturally enriching experience. Previously, I completed a Pre Professional Internship Translator position where I translated official documents (FR–ES / ES–FR), drafted and edited institutional/public communications, and supported administrative processes with strict confidentiality.
Alongside interpretation, I offer freelance Translation and Transcription Services specialized in FR–ES/ES–FR and DE–ES/ES–DE, with additional ES–EN/EN–ES support. I’m proactive, adaptable, and always open to continuous learning and constructive feedback—especially when it improves the quality and consistency of client outcomes.
