Summary:
A native English and Spanish speaker with advanced degrees and high honors in Spanish and French. Over three years full-time experience in the non-profit, higher education and development (fundraising) sectors. Multi-lingual, dual Colombian-American citizen who has worked and studied in the United States, Mexico and France.

Highlights:
1) Over six years translation and editing experience. I began translating as an intern at an international NGO and continued to volunteer translate for the UC Davis Law Clinic.

2) Current and former independent clients include: private practice lawyers, NGO's (e.g. Human Impact Partners), non-profits (e.g. Théâtre du Bout du Monde).

3) With experience as an English teacher in Mexico and France, I have a unique understanding of some the nuances involved with the acquisition and understanding of English as a Second Language, an advantage when working with international clients.

4) High-quality, efficient translations that read naturally in the target language while respecting the author's desired tone, sentence structure, and voice.
