Source text - Spanish Comenzaremos por el estado de Oaxaca, (señalarlo en el mapa), si les es posible visitar este Estado se los recomendamos ampliamente pues es rico en artesanías, en zonas arqueológicas y por supuesto en su cocina la cual apreciaremos en nuestro primer restaurante: El Restaurante Barro Negro Este restaurante fue creado para resaltar las tradiciones, olores y sabores de Oaxaca. El restaurante fue decorado a base de la artesanía local, en especial el barro negro haciendo alusión al nombre del lugar. El barro negro se ha trabajado en Oaxaca por muchos siglos, las artesanías que con él se elaboran son muchas, desde sencillos silbatos y ceniceros hasta candeleros y adornos múltiples, lo que le ha dado fama mundial a este Estado. La gastronomía en Oaxaca a lo largo de los años ha logrado una mezcla de especies y elementos prehispánicos con otros de la época de la colonia y algunos más modernos, logrando en sus platillos sazones muy propios de la región e inigualables en su variedad y sabor. Los alimentos son muy coloridos, algunos platillos han adoptado los nombres con base en los colores como los moles verde, colorado, negro y amarillo. Además, Oaxaca es un Estado rico en tradiciones culturales, y su riqueza gastronómica es una de las más importantes del país. Desde tiempos ancestrales se han practicado las mismas recetas, sus generaciones han cuidado seguir con la tradición y esto es lo que el dueño del restaurante quiere transmitir en Barro Negro.	Translation - English We’ll begin with the Mexican State of Oaxaca (signal where on the map), if you can, we highly recommend you visit this state, which is rich in artisan crafts, archeological sites and of course their culinary achievements, for which we bring you to our first restaurant: Restaurant Barro Negro (or Black Mud) This restaurant was created in order to provide the public with the traditions, smells and tastes of Oaxaca. The restaurant was decorated according to the local artisan crafts, especially the black mud, hence where the name of the restaurant came from. The black mud has been used in Oaxaca for many centuries, which many of the artisan crafts have been made from. They offer anything from simple whistles and ashtrays to candlesticks and many different ornaments. All this has given world-wide fame to this State. Oaxaca gastronomy, over many years, has acquired a mix of spices and pre-Hispanic elements of the colonial era as well as some more modern dishes, all of which create dishes with seasonings very particular to the region and unique in their variety and taste. The food is very colorful, and some dishes have even adopted their names based on the colors of the Green, Black, Yellow, and Red “moles” used. Furthermore, Oaxaca is a State rich in cultural traditions, and its rich culinary culture is one of the most important in the country. Since ancient times they have practiced the same recipes and their generations have continued to follow the same traditions, which the owner of this restaurant works to portray through its many dishes.

Bio

My experience in translating and interpreting has grown every year since I began using my useful skill back in 2008. Prior to 2008 my knowledge of the Spanish language came only from elementary and high school Spanish courses. I continued at the University level with my courses in Spanish and studied abroad in Mexico City at the Tecnologico de Monterrey-Ciudad de Mexico campus.

In 2008, I began using this skill outside of school. After my last semester in Mexico City, I stayed and took a 1 1/2 month internship at EuroCentro Nacional Financiera, where I worked at promoting seminars to teach small/medium-size companies how to export to the European Union, in Spanish. There I was asked to be an interpreter for an Italian client coming to a 3 day seminar, from Spanish to English.

In that same year, I volunteered at the Lake Area Free Clinic Nov. 2008-July 2009 , where I translated doctor visits for Hispanic individuals in the surrounding community from English to Spanish. I worked for Children's Community Health Plan from Sept. 2008-Oct. 2009, where I performed outreach to Hispanic members; welcoming them in Spanish to their new health plan and providing them with information and answering their questions. During that same time, I worked for Web180 as an administrative support role, but also translating from English to Spanish for parts of clients' webpages. In Oct. 2009, I took an Account Executive position with UPS where I was able to use my Spanish with clients as well as join the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, where I gave presentations in English and Spanish to promote UPS services to the Chamber Members.

In Nov. 2011, I left UPS to move to Mexico City with my new husband where I looked for different types of work. I spent 2 hours a week conversing in English with 2 children under the age of 10 for 3 months. I trained for a position as a tour guide for Mexican Food Tours to give tours in Polanco, Mexico in both English and Spanish. I was asked to translate the entire 12 page guide from Spanish to English for any other guides who might be hired. I also helped revise and proofread their new website that is now in English. I have been working now for the last 4 months running small cafeteria, managing employees and selling our meals, using all Spanish.

Besides this experience, I'm married to a Mexican National and translating is an on-going practice in my life. Please see my samples I've added and feel free to ask me to provide you with company-specific samples to fit your needs.
