Bio
Translation is a Passion, not just a job
Spanish to English Translator

My native language is US English. I was raised in a bi-cultural family, a Spanish father and a native New York mother. My paternal grandfather lived with us but his English was quite limited, therefore I always heard Spanish spoken on a daily basis. At the age of 7 my family moved to South America where my formal education in Spanish began. As a child I just soaked it all in. I spent 7 years overseas and upon my return to the United States I continued to study Spanish in high school and in college. In college I earned my BA in Spanish and a teacher’s certificate for the State of New Jersey. I have also recently received a certificate in translation from Adelphi University and have completed a graduate level course in Medical Translation at Montclair State University.


I am an extremely focused individual and have been known to attack any project, no matter how trivial or important, as a dog worries a bone, not letting go until finished to the utmost satisfaction. I am very happy to work alone or with a team. Spending many hours researching a field and tracking the different meanings of a word or a phrase is a joy. Punctuality is very important to me so every job I take on will always be on time and of the highest quality.
