My duties at Patagon included: Translating all combinations of English, Spanish & Portuguese Editing original news stories and translations, Writing original articles and columns on markets, business and personal finance that would appeal to a Brazilian or a general Latin American audience (in English and Spanish, which I translated into Portuguese).

It has also provided me with strong research skills, and with hundreds of industry contacts to turn to when researching a term. Other relevant experience: Court-interpreting, 2 years' practice (1992-93) in several New Jersey courts, after passing the test of the NJ Administrative Office of the Courts in sight, consecutive, and simultaneous interpreting. Beyond my web-based research of original copy of contracts, business literature, etc., in order to keep up with the language of business and with good writing in general, I am subscribed to (and regularly read) The Wall Street Journal The Economist The New Yorker The New York Times Bilingual English-Spanish. Born and raised in Uruguay, attending a British school from kindergarden through high-school. Lived for one year in Madrid, followed by ten years in New York and three in Sao Paulo.
