About me
They say you live a new life for every new language you speak. How gladly would I live a hundred lives!


Graduate degree in Foreign Languages with specialty in Translation, and certified by the Berlitz School for Interpreters and Translators.

I have 5 years experience working both as freelance and in-house translator.

As an in-house translator, I first worked for a company in charge of manufacturing automotive components for VW Mexico. I translated all kinds of technical documents such as user’s guides, technical manuals, maintenance and troubleshooting guides, safety regulations, international guidelines, internal policies, etc.

For the past couple of years I have been working for a financial company as an interpreter and translator.

I also work part-time as a freelance translator.

My main areas of expertise are: medicine, science, business, finance, marketing, history, literature, and automotive technology, among others.

I truly believe that in order to be a good translator you need more than just the language, you need the skills of course, but above all, you need to like what you do. I just happen to adore my job.
