Whether conducting research, teaching a class, or studying a new language, I'm obsessed with the challenge of learning new things. Oh, and I'm a polyglot! (That's just a fancy way of saying I can speak multiple languages.)
I've always been driven by a deep appreciation for other languages and cultures, combined with an unshakeable commitment to social and environmental justice.
I bring over ten years of experience in nonprofits and higher education, including roles in teaching/tutoring, research, immigration law, and international affairs.
I earned my M.A. in Latin American Studies from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), with concentrations in Geography, History, and Digital Humanities. I also hold a B.A. in Spanish Studies and Diplomacy & World Affairs from Occidental College.

Seeking a meticulous translator for your website, event program, or video subtitles? Google Translate has come a LONG way, but my experience working in the professional translation industry has taught me that a human touch is still essential to ensure that your content conveys the exact meaning that you intend.
I enjoy tackling Spanish/English translation projects of all kinds. A need-based, sliding scale fee structure is available for those seeking certified translations of documents for humanitarian immigration cases.
Contact me to request translation work samples or to inquire about a project.
