info
I’m a freelance translator from Mexico City with more than 11 years of experience in the translating/writing field. Reading and writing have been my passion from early childhood and that has given me great writing and reading abilities. I consider myself very creative and a perfectionist. I always make sure that a paragraph sounds just right before continuing with the next one.
Most of my experience has been translating legal documents, contracts, marketing material (surveys, focus groups of a pharmaceutical nature, cosmetics),Sales, Real Estate and General Business documents. I have translated more than 3,000,000 words ranging in legal documents, new age books, transcriptions, children’s books, religious sermons, construction documents, websites of different subjects/products, marketing materials and many others. I have also steadily worked for a travel website and marketing research firm for more than a year.
I enjoy translating and writing all types of materials as it gives me the opportunity to read and learn about different subjects. I especially enjoy translating or writing books, websites or any kind of material on the subjects of spirituality, new age and personal growth as I’m always on a journey to become a better person, living in the present, enjoying and learning from all experiences.
I enjoy great relationships with my clients; I’m still working for the same clients for whom I started working 8 years ago. I take deadlines very seriously and have never missed one.
