Bio
I have completed my translation and interpretation certificates at the Berlitz School of Translators and Interpreters in Caracas, and have been granted a license diploma in 1989 as a Legal Translator by the Ministry of Justice of Venezuela, thus possessing a deep and extensive knowledge in the legal translation world.
One of my strongest qualities is my close connection to the English language and culture. My fluency in English comes as a result of an extended period of living and studying in the cities of Boston, Houston, Denver, and Orlando, in the United States of America.
My university Degree in Sociology with a Thesis in Linguistics makes me particularly skillful in the translation of themes related to the social sciences, literature and language-related themes. I have experience in translating social, psychotherapy, sociological, psychological, and humanities texts.
I also have an extensive background in translating for the banking and finance sector. As a free lance translator for various software companies in Venezuela, I have mastered the peculiarities of technical and IT translation as well as localisation.
Another field where I can prove my experience is the Oil and Gas Industry, where I have worked in a number of translation jobs throughout my career.
I translate with precision and attention to meanings and style. I am fluent in MS Office and other CAT tools. My qualities include excellent concentration and discipline, needed for extended hours of in-house work. I will be glad if we initiate a long-term cooperation that facilitates our mutual growth.
I am currently living in Orlando, Florida, where I continue to work as a freelance translator.
