My name is Silvina Jover-Cirillo. I was born in Argentina and raised in Uruguay. Since I was very young (around 3 years old), I started to learn English at a bilingual (British) school, where I attended until the day of my High School graduation.

When people ask me which is my mother tongue, I see myself in a very awkward situation because I must say is Spanish, due to the simple reason that I was born and raised in Latin American countries. But, in my every day life, I consider myself a native of both languages: Spanish and English. The latter not only because I practically learned it as I was being taught how to speak, but also due to the fact that I am married to an American and, nowadays, living in the U.S.

In relation to my career, I have always been surrounded by legal topics. Also, due to my fluency in the several languages, my professional background has been among international companies focused in export and import matters. This experience has allowed me to expand my horizons to other subjects besides Law. Furthermore, my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and my International Relations studies, in conjunction with my Master in Liberal Studies in Global Affairs grant me sufficient tools to perform an outstanding job in all my fields of specialization, contributing with a unique "touch" of theoretical and practical knowledge.

Simultaneously, I had to learn about the different countries and their cultures. This fact has not only allowed be to achieve a high level of cultural fluency but also, from a translator's point of view, this has taught me that the best job will always be that one that does not perform a literal translation of the source text. An in-depth study of its context is needed, as well as an accurate adaptation to be able to fit that particular piece of writing into the community in which it will be exposed. This transliteration exercise is usually known as localization.

Considering that both my professional as well as personal lives have always been related to the interpretation and translation of other languages, I have decided to offer my knowledge and experience to other individuals.
