I have free-lanced on a part-time basis throughout my life in English/Spanish, Spanish/English Translation and/or Simultaneous Interpretation in a lot of fields, from Petroleum Engineering to Economics, to Education, Literature and Liberal Arts in general, but given my professional education and full-time work experience, I feel I am specially qualified for Translation in Finance, General Business and Marketing.
I am an Ecuadorian by birth, and a Permanent Resident of the United States, currently living in gorgeous Fountain Hills, Arizona with my wonderful but English-only speaking husband. Very hard but thankfully successful work as a Finance Manager in Fortune 500 companies has allowed me to "retire" from the stresses of Corporate life, and thus I can now dedicate myself more fully to the joys of Language and Translation.
