As an English and Spanish bilingualist the most natural career choice was translation, so being of Mexican origin and growing up the U.S. I naturally became immersed in these two languages and cultures, add to that the experience of living in beautiful Spain for the past 20 years and raising a bilingual family along the way.

For the past twenty years my passion has been translating words, meanings, information, materials, guides, stories, presentations, lists, apps, websites, reports, leaflets, clinical trials, menus, manuals, training courses, scripts, subtitles from Spanish into English and back again. Translating is a constant learning experience, with every piece of text you learn something new, become familiar with unfamiliar terminology and gain knowledge with every project.

Anyone needing materials to be translated can count on my experience which includes over 100 projects on medical devices from my years in the pharmaceutical industry as well as projects in other areas through my freelancing business. If you need technology skills, I have been using the Translation Workspace XLiff Editor for the past 2 years and have MemoQ tool and license which I am beginning to use.

Rest assured my translation business is always on top of the latest news, tools, information and keeping up with the latest in the field by attending conferences and workshops. One of the most recent was an SDL Trados conference in Madrid which was fascinating and truly inspired me to obtain this great tool.

I look forward to my next translation project, I look forward to applying my bilingualism experience and setting out to make that text read like an original, and I look forward to the challenge of translating and exploring that new field and gaining even more knowledge!
