Description

I'm an English-Spanish translator based in San Francisco, California. I have been a full-time professional translator for over 25 years.

I am a native Spanish speaker and hold a BS in Aerospace Engineering from NCSU. I have resided for over 25 years in the United States (US citizen). I have experience in several fields and gained profound insight into the translation industry while working to develop US Patent 7398198, related to translation web searches, which I was co-awarded in 2008.

This insight, coupled with my extensive translation experience, long periods of residence in several Latin American countries and in Spain and a two-year in-house position as a full-time translator at a large American corporation, allows me to fine-tune my translations taking into account the vocabulary and style subtleties of the target audience.

In 2008 I translated the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (former INS) website into Spanish.

I guarantee high-quality work delivered on time and timely responses to your inquiries; my client e-mail messages prompt an alert on my mobile phone, so you can be sure it won't be long before I respond to your inquiries.
