Spanish/English Translator
Saint James, Trinidad And Tobago
Freelance translator since 1996. Born In Caracas by English speaking parents, both bilingual interpreters/language teachers and I became one myself through them. Living in South America and the Caribbean, I have learned many of the different Spanish and English dialects and this has given me the opportunity to improve the quality of my translations each time. I am also familiar with some of the different types of Spanish such as South American Spanish, Mexican Spanish, Central America Spanish and European Spanish. I work with major companies in different industries; Insurance, Financial Institutions, legal, Food and Beverage, Agriculture and Farming Industries, Health, Advertising, Sports (tennis, football, basketball) Government related Issues, and have also work for private individuals, jewelers, writers, doctors, architects, etc ...Other work experiences include simultaneous interpretation, proofreading, transcriptions, copywriting, graphic
design and language teaching. I translate Operation manuals, websites,
brochures,... business proposals, business cards , letters, CV's, newsletters, certificates, poems, greeting cards, biographies, children's stories, songs, books, university thesis, real estate guides, etc. I also do consecutive interpreting in the SPA>ENG>SPA language combinations.
