Resume
“A translation is no translation, unless it will give you the music of a poem along with the words” John Millington Synge

I provide just that!  My Spanish services are not just translations and editing; I create and adapt language to a specific audience, meeting and excelling client’s expectations.  I manage context to ensure accuracy and consistency, as well as addressing style, tone, subjective interpretation and cultural concepts. 

My main focus is on the English and Spanish languages, offering native Spanish speaking specialization with many years of experience and certified public translation degrees.

My mission is as follows:
  • Focus on quality and excellence
  • Never miss a client’s deadline
  • Respond promptly, accurately and completely
  • Maintain strict confidentiality regarding customers, their business and their products
I specialize in the following areas:

  • Education
  • Healthcare / dentistry
  • Religion
  • Telecommunication 
In my ten years of experience, I have completed hundreds of projects.  Recent projects of which I am very proud include:
