Born to Spanish speaking parents in Latin America, I completed my primary and secondary education in two Spanish speaking countries before making the decision to pursue a higher education in the United States, where I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership and later an MBA. I worked for the University of Illinois in Chicago (UIC) for almost a decade translating and interpreting from English to Spanish and Spanish to English for a wide range of clients from all over Latin America. I worked on translations and interpretations for professionals, such as doctors, nurses, social workers, attorneys, school officials, therapists, managers, psychologists, government workers and numerous more. ? During my stay with UIC, I became the key person to go to when customized translation or interpretation was required. I am able to communicate effectively with fellow Spanish speaking individuals in their own dialect(s). After sever years of working in the Healthcare and Educational fields, I began a new journey transferring my knowledge to the banking world, where I focused on mortgage, and marketing, as well as other areas of banking where I could employ my bilingual skills. I am a member of the American Translators Association (ATA), and International Medical Interpreters Association (IMIA) and have an outstanding record in the Spanish Translation and Interpretation field. My focus is ensuring that your communication needs are accurate, localized, and presented on time.
