I am a certified freelance Spanish-to-English translator who resides in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. I hold 25+ years of experience in the language services industry and provide a wide variety of translation services in many different subject areas to high-profile direct clients and end clients in both the public and private sectors.

I'm certified by the American Translators Association (ATA) in Spanish-to-English translation. My first certification was from Georgetown University (Certificate of Proficiency in Translation from Spanish to English) in 1996.

I was an editor at a Washington publishing firm before becoming a translator. My professional editing and proofreading background ensures that you get polished, publication-quality work that requires virtually no post-editing.
 EDUCATION:
-- B.A. in Spanish and B.A. in International Studies from Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas, 1994. (I didn't just double major, I actually got two B.A. degrees.) During my undergrad studies I completed a Congressional internship with the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee as well as extended periods of time in Madrid, Spain and Paris, France.
