I am a
Spanish to English translator specializing in education with 16 years of study in the language. My native language is English.
I have worked as a translator since January of 2013. The majority of my translations have been educational materials, including IEPs and special education evaluation reports. My translations have also included affidavits of domestic abuse victims, a cookbook for homeless individuals in shelters, and an iPad application about gastrointestinal stromal tumors. In addition, I worked for a year as a community interpreter with a focus on school settings, for such purposes as IEP meetings and student cognitive evaluations. I have experience with language editing as well, having assisted scholar Mary Berg in editing a recent edition of the nineteenth-century novel Aves sin nido.
Regarding my language work in other areas, from 2011 to 2015 I tutored
Spanish to students of various ages and levels. I worked previously as a bilingual paraprofessional at Ellis Elementary School, helping to explain academic concepts in Spanish to my native-speaking third grade students.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in
Spanish. As the culmination of my collegiate experience, I wrote a 75-page senior thesis in Spanish about the fatalistic gender representations in Vargas Llosa’s Los cachorros and La ciudad y los perros. I completed a community
interpreting certificate program in June 2014 and a
medical interpreting certificate program in February 2015 with Language Connections. I received a perfect score on both final exams. As a result of my performance in the latter program, I was chosen for a 40-hour
medical interpreting internship at Brigham and Women's Hospital, which I completed in July 2015.
Finally, I have extensive experience traveling in the Spanish-speaking world. During my junior year of college, I lived in Lima, Peru for a year. There, I studied at a local university and volunteered with Centro de Promoción y Defensa de los Derechos Sexuales y Reproductivos, a nonprofit working to protect sexual and reproductive rights and to advocate for the Peruvian LGBT community. I returned to Peru in 2014 and, more recently, in July 2016. In 2012 I spent a month backpacking on my own through Panama and Costa Rica, and I have visited Chile, Ecuador, and Spain as well.
