Description

As an accomplished bilingual communicator with a multicultural background and a dual citizenship, I provide specialized expertise in high-stakes translation and interpretation. My experience spans rigorous legal, scientific, and academic sectors, including supporting the U.S. Navy and a Ministry of Environment in Latin America. I have translated complex regulatory and contractual documentation for firms like Baker&McKenzie, as well as significant philosophical and astrological works (most notably Chris Brennan’s "Hellenistic Astrology"). With a Master’s in Journalism and a B.A. in Psychology, I bridge linguistic gaps with analytical precision and deep cross-cultural, academic, and legal acumen. I authored "Traducir no traduce trastocar. Desde la gramática y las connotaciones hasta la cultura y la traducción especializada" (2024, Universidad del Rosario), available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Latin American libraries).
