I'm a professionally trained English-Spanish translator and Proz.com Certified PRO with over a decade of experience delivering comprehensive language solutions across multiple industries. My unique background combines advanced linguistic expertise with legal training—holding a Juris Doctor from a US-based law school and having practiced law in Puerto Rican courts—giving me profound insight into both English and Spanish legal systems
and terminology.

My specialization spans medical, legal, and business translation, with particular strength in clinical trials documentation, pharmaceutical
materials, and complex legal texts. I've built extensive experience working with global Language Service Providers (LSPs) providing translation, editing, proofreading, localization, and machine translation post editing services across diverse CAT tools and platforms.

As a linguistic and non-linguistic quality assurance specialist, I bring over five years of copyediting and QA expertise, ensuring layout integrity, formatting compliance, and terminology consistency across
multilingual projects. My technical proficiency includes advanced skills in XTM, memoQ, Trados Studio,
Phrase (Memsource), and multiple other CAT tools, along with hands-on experience with MT engines like DeepL
and Google Translate.

My medical translation expertise encompasses clinical trials documentation, informed consent forms, patient-facing
materials, medical device instructions, and pharmaceutical documentation. I
also specialize in linguistic validation work, including questionnaire harmonization, forward translations, and back-translation review processes.

In the interpretation field, my experience
includes consecutive interpretation services for legal proceedings, medical
appointments, depositions, and business meetings, offering both face-to-face
and remote solutions. This experience has enriched the
rest of my work, but I am currently not providing interpretation services.

My educational foundation includes a Professional Certificate in English to Spanish Translation from New York University, complemented by ongoing professional development through specialized courses in machine translation, post-editing, and project management.

I maintain active memberships in the American Translators Association (ATA) and ACES: The Society for Editing, staying current with industry
