BRIDGES ACROSS LANGUAGES AND CULTURES

English<>Spanish translator, interpreter, language professional

It's great to connect! 

 

I grew up speaking Spanish and English in Mexico and Canada.

My passion for language led me to study linguistics and become a professional translator. I have 9 years of experience as an in-house, external, and freelance translator, specializing in technical and legal translation, life sciences, and localizations.

Currently based in Ontario, Canada.

​

My introduction to professional translation was in life sciences.

I have translated laboratory reports, drug authorizations, drug trial reports, medical articles, clinical studies, hospital and laboratory reports, user manuals for lab and hospital equipment, among other documents.

I greatly enjoy the linguistic and scientific research involved in texts for life sciences, medicine, and healthcare.

 

I have worked with legal documents for most of my career and this field is now a major focus of mine. I have translated contracts and agreements, privacy and user policies, vital records, and official government documents and publications, among others. I have experience with legal documents from Mexico, Canada, US, and throughout Latin America.

​

Additionally, I work in several other fields, including tourism, marketing, software, subtitling; and as a consecutive interpreter.

What I do...

I specialize in providing accurate and reliable language services,

ensuring seamless communication across cultures.

Balanced scales

Legal Translation

With over 5 years of experience and training in legal translation, I conduct thorough research on the relevant legal systems and standards, regulations, and background for each project. As a migrant, I'm particularly passionate about language equity and justice.

  • Personal documents, including vital records (birth/marriage/death certificates), university degrees and transcripts, letters of support or recommendation, CVs, among others. Often these documents are required for immigration applications with the USCIS or IRCC (note I do not provide certified translations for the latter, but can provide sworn translations meeting their requirements).

  • Judicial documents, such as police reports, court decisions in criminal and civil proceedings, and case records.

  • Corporate documentation, such as privacy policies, terms of service, user agreements, SOPs, and employee handbooks.

Life Sciences

I draw on over 7 years of experience to meticulously translate documents related to pharmaceutical products, healthcare, and medical technology.

  • Clinical trial reports, laboratory research.

  • Documents submitted to regulatory authorities for the approval of drugs, medical devices, and other products.

  • Papers on medical and scientific research published in international journals.

  • Patient history records: consultation reports, lab tests, discharge summaries, etc.

Fists in Solidarity

Human Rights

Motivated by my personal and family history, I am passionate about advancing projects for human rights, equality, education, and socioeconomic development. I have done translation work on several reports on human rights in Latin America, particularly relating to immigration and refugees; advocacy for access to medical/financial support; initiatives for improved access to education; and reports on LGBTQ+ human rights.

Map of the world

Localization

My lifelong immersion in both the English- and Spanish-speaking spheres has given me an innate understanding of cultural nuances crucial for connecting with international audiences. I localize into Canadian and US English, and Mexican/US/LatAm Spanish in fields such as tourism, marketing, subtitling (TV programs, documentaries, short-form videos), software and technology, etc.
