    Translator, Interpreter, and MT Post-Editor Fully Bilingual in English and Spanish I was born in the United States, where I completed my primary, secondary, and university education. I majored in Spanish and History and am licensed in secondary education. During college and the following years, I had the opportunity to travel abroad to Spain, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Argentina, for study abroad programs and service projects. I also spent a year teaching English as a second language to immigrants from Mexico and Guatemala living in the United States. After several long-term service projects in Argentina, I moved to Buenos Aires in 2006. I worked in a Christian prison ministry for 9 years, visiting women in prison weekly. During that same time, I was responsible for translating institutional materials and communicating with English-speaking supporters. I was also responsible for outreach to non-Spanish-speaking female inmates and interpreting between Spanish and English during gatherings. In 2017, I began working as a full-time freelance translator for MContigo, translating a wide variety of blog content from Spanish to English. In 2021, my role was changed to machine translation post-editor. In addition to that, in 2022 and 2023 I worked as a freelance translator for SPENGLS, translating academic content from Spanish to English on an as-needed basis. (The company has since closed). Lastly, since May 2022, I have worked as a translator for the non-profit organization Terraso, translating a variety of materials from English to Spanish. I also have extensive experience working as a freelance translator for various authors and publishers in the United States, translating written materials and videos from Spanish to English and vice-versa. Besides my love for language, I'm a passionate advocate for people with disabilities, their families, and other marginalized groups. I began volunteering at various camps for people with disabilities as a young teen. As a young adult, I began working in sheltered workshops for adults with disabilities and as live-in staff at a group home for women with disabilities and mental illness. While working in Argentine prisons, I visited with imprisoned women with mental illness on a weekly basis. Since 2017, I've coordinated the disability inclusion and accessibility ministry at my church in Buenos Aires. I guarantee that all work will be done accurately, professionally, and on time.
