Free Lance Translator/Interpreter/Instructor - Language Pairs: English-Spanish Mother Tongue: Spanish

About Me

I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. For my early education I had the great advantage at the time to attend a bilingual school. As an honor student I was offered the opportunity to enroll at the Catholic University of Puerto Rico, now known as Pontificia Universidad Católica de Puerto Rico, while attending High school. I was also offered the opportunity to train as a Spanish instructor. It was a wonderful and rewarding experience to be able to teach Clergy and Peace Corps participants conversational Spanish at a young age.

I have achieved many goals and expertise in different areas through the years, but one of the most rewarding is being able to translate, interpret and teach my mother tongue. It is my passion to be able to help others with my skills.

As a mother I made sure my children learned both English and Spanish and today they are very grateful to be fluent in both languages.

As a professional I strive on detail and accuracy.
