I am of Argentine descent and grew up in both Argentina and Canada. I was raised speaking both Spanish and English. As a result, I consider both to be my native languages. I have also studied French and am working on perfecting this third language.
In 2005 I completed 9 years of University education in Spanish, French and Latin American Studies. My language studies covered both literature and linguistics. My inter-disciplinary bachelor's and master's degrees in Latin American Studies provided me with a solid background in philosophy, history, sociology, anthropology, and political economy, among other subjects.
I have worked as a language instructor at Simon Fraser University teaching 1st to 4th year courses, which included grammar, literature and translation. I also developed and provided customized language courses for small groups.
I have worked on countless local community and international development projects. Much of my work in this field included translating and interpreting. As such, I gained invaluable experience in translating written and spoken Spanish from a variety of different countries, recognizing and appropriately translating slang, regional vocabulary and regional grammatical variations.
I am also an avid illustrator, painter, writer and dancer, as such, I have a great passion for and familiarity with language pertaining to arts and culture. It is my dream to some day work in translation of poetry, literature and other cultural texts. |
