Bio

Hello, I've been interested in languages since I as achild and my dream job is to work as a translator or interpreter. I've self taught myself several languages by using self hones translation skills to teach myself multiple languages in regards to reading, writing and speaking.

I decided to try the ProZ site because I've had some minor opportunities and jobs in translation on and off for the past few years now as I occasionally have to use my skills in interpreting and translation to help students learn a language. My goal is to learn all I can and grow my skills to run my own translation business from home.

I have been studying languages for several years and have been working towards getting certification in a few language pairs, mostly Spanish to English and Russian to English.

I'm hoping to take the skills I have and be able to expand on them as well as add skills I still need to work on.
