Because every child is unique, both physically and emotionally, the "normal" range is often difficult to define. Even the most concerned and loving parents may be unaware of the important milestones in their child's development. Listed on the next are a few of those important milestones. | Translation - Spanish
Puesto que cada niño es diferente y único tanto físicamente cómo emocionalmente, se hace a veces difícil definir lo que es desarrollo 'normal.' Aun los padres más responsables y bondadosos no saben siempre cuáles son los hitos importantes en el desarrollo de su hijo. En la página a continuación Ud. podrá leer una lista de estos hitos importantes. |

I love languages, and I have a broad range of life experience and education. I spent the first five years of my life in Israel, where Hebrew and German were my 'native' languages. I lived the next four years in Uruguay, where I learned the foundations of Spanish that I use now in interpreting and translating. I came to the United States at 10, and developed an excellent command of English, which is now my strongest 'native' language. I later studied French and Italian in college, but my major focus was Psychology. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. I have spent many years working in mental health agencies, and did much of this work with Spanish-speaking patients in many different settings including psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, police stations and jails, and emergency rooms. This background contributes to a strong understanding of medical and behavioral-science terms and concepts that I can apply to my translation work.
I also love music, and have studied piano, music history, and music theory. I currently sing in a community choir and repair musical instruments (brass and woodwinds), and teach classes in music history.
I have worked as a copy editor for University of California Press and other publishers. I am a certified court interpreter and medical interpreter (Spanish<>English) in the state of Washington; my work for the courts includes interpreting at hearings and trials, as well as translation of court documents. I am available for telephonic interpreting appointments. I also teach academic Spanish (and occasionally Italian) at a community college.
I have developed a comprehensive glossary of English-->Spanish legal terminology for the Washington State Administrative Office of the Courts which may be found on the AOC website at: [http://www.courts.wa.gov/programs_orgs/pos_interpret/index.cfm?fa=pos_interpret.display&fileName=glossary/index ]
I am very careful and precise in my translation work, and spend a great deal of time checking and cross-checking words in many reference sources to make sure that my translations are accurate and clear.
