Bio

I am an English-Spanish Technical-Scientific Translator and Interpreter, specialized in Medicine.

After obtaining my Bachelor´s Degree in Translation (Argentina-2007), I studied at the University of California, Riverside, and obtained my Certificate in Profesional Interpretation and Translation, specialized in Medicine (United States).

 I started my professional career volunteering as a Medical Interpreter at different health fairs in the United States back in 2009, and have been gaining experience and skills ever since!

I have been working as an Over-the-Phone Interpreter (OPI) since 2010, Medical Interpreter since 2015, and Video Remote Interpreter-Medical (VRI) since 2019. Most of my interpreting takes place in the medical, health care, health insurance field, but I also work with unemployment benefits, child support cases, tourism, utility services, credit cards, loans, mortgages and transportation, on a daily basis.
