Ximena Chica
Description
I am a professional interpreter with over 15,000 work hours of experience accrued over the last 14 years. As a
conference and escort interpreter, I have worked in a wide range of venues, including government entities such as the Colombian Presidency, Congress, several Ministries, National Tax Authority and Sports Administration, as well as international Law Enforcement, Military Forces, and Judiciary Investigative bodies. In the USA, Colombia and throughout the Americas I have provided my professional services also in various foundational industries such as Oil, Coal Mining, Iron Forge and Agriculture, in service industries like Medical- Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics, Banking, Accounting, Marketing, IT, Publishing, Journalism, Trade Unions, Labor Unions, Tourism and Entertainment. Although much of my work has been carried out through freelance contracting with interpretation service agencies or directly with clients of my own, involving not only interpreting but also subcontracting, event management and technical equipment setup, I recently established my own company: Language Up, based in Las Vegas, Nevada. I am also a Certified Court Interpreter by the State of Nevada AOC, which has brought a great deal of amazing experience both in the courtrooms of Municipal, County, State, Family, US District and Immigration Courts as well as out in the private legal sector in depositions, arbitrations, client-attorney meetings and USCIS immigration interviews. My three instrumental languages are Spanish, English and Portuguese. I am known in the profession for my passion, precision, context sensitivity and excellent interpersonal communication skills. I am a standing member of the National Association of Judicial Interpreters and Translators NAJIT and the American Translators Association ATA.
