I have adopted a Continuous Professional Development approach that assures my skills are constantly polished and updated.
My challenge is to convey real meaning while achieving a naturally flowing target language product. My research skills allow me to get to the core meaning of texts and attain professional results in both English and Spanish.
I work for Latin American, North American, European, and Australian clients and audiences, adapting and localizing to different accents, fields, and registers. I have lived in Australia, Europe, Asia, and South America.

- Medical interviews for a Foundation that studies a rare genetic disease.
- Healthcare (physical, occupational & speech therapy, insurance programs, medical appointments)

I am adaptable and can communicate ideas swiftly between source and target languages. I always prepare interpreting sessions beforehand to achieve high-quality interpreting.
Clients have given me very positive feedback, mainly due to the quality and clarity of my speech, both in English and Spanish, as well as my sharpness, fluid interpersonal skills, and human and professional qualities.
