About

Professional summary

I am an experienced linguist with over 20 years of expertise as an interpreter, translator, transcriber, and content writer. Born and raised in Mexico City, I am a native Spanish speaker with near-native English proficiency, fluent Italian, and currently studying Hebrew and Greek. My passion lies in facilitating clear and accurate communication across languages and cultures.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively in medical, legal, immigration, social services, education, and emergency settings, providing consecutive, first-person interpretation primarily over the phone. I adhere strictly to interpreter ethics and confidentiality policies to ensure trust and professionalism in every assignment.

I am proficient in various computer applications including Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Publisher, and I type at a speed of 65 words per minute. I am a dedicated team player and an effective communicator, committed to bridging language barriers and supporting diverse communities.

My educational background includes multiple certificates in Spanish medical, legal, and academic interpretation and translation, as well as formal training in medical terminology, Italian studies, and secretarial skills. I have also contributed as a content creator and speaker, particularly within community and church settings.

I have held numerous contract and volunteer positions with organizations such as Cyracom International, Certified Languages International, Language Services Associates, Tucson Unified School District, and others. My roles have encompassed interpretation, translation, transcription, training, and administrative support, demonstrating versatility and dedication to my profession.

I am eager to continue offering my linguistic services to organizations that value cultural sensitivity, accuracy, and professionalism. I am confident that my skills and experience will make a meaningful contribution to any team or project requiring expert language services.
