I am a native Spanish speaker from Argentina. I studied at Universidad Nacional de Cuyo in Mendoza. In my home country, I earned a degree as a Teacher of English as a Second Language. After I moved to the United States, I studied at Saint Michael's College where I earned my MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I later became a Spanish teacher and taught middle and high school students. During part of my teaching years, I translated school documents for parents with limited English proficiency. In 2017 I became a volunteer translator for Vegan Outreach. I have translated some articles and flyers for their website and their community. It is my small contribution to help stop animal abuse and exploitation. In 2018 I earned my certificate in translation from the University of California, San Diego Extension. My fields of expertise in translation are Sports Science, Exercise and Nutrition, and Education. However, I do translations in other fields if they fall within the range of my knowledge and confidence. When I am not teaching or translating, I am training for long distance triathlons or marathons. Send me a message, let's work together!

Collaborative, Attentive & Client-Centric: I have been translating for over 25 years (English-Japanese). My biggest strength as a translator is the ability to make the target language (mostly Japanese) sound natural as if it had originally been written in it by adapting the appropriate tone and style for the audience and reflecting the client's corporate culture, brand images and needs. I am also experienced in proofreading and editing translation done by other translators or AI/LMMs. I have worked with a wide range of clients - from individuals and small start-ups to mid-size companies and large global corporations. I have helped many companies to launch their Japanese operations or open their Japan offices by translating email, business decks, marketing materials and other important documents. I incorporate my background to my work such as being raised in Japan, living in the United States for 30 years, working for different types of companies in Japan, Australia and the United States, raising children in the US education system, and belonging to various types of communities in Japan and the US. Therefore, I can work with different topics and materials. Some exceptions are areas requiring high expertise such as legal court documents, legal contracts and medical diagnosis. However, I have translated hundreds of business decks, reports, marketing materials (e.g. flyers, brochures, IG/FB posts), surveys, online course/training materials, and subtitles. Simply started as a translator, my role has evolved over years with technology advancements and business landscape changes. Lots of clients used their own platforms, translation tools and recently AI/LLMs, and I am a quick learner of new tools and technologies and cater to my clients' needs as their uses of technologies change.
