Bio
U.S. citizen with a B.A. in Business Administration specialized in Marketing and International Business. Over 30 years of professional experience working in multi-national companies based in Latin America. Experienced in food and beverage, home care, personal care, professional hair care, banking/credit card/financial services, pet food, mining, lubricant and licensing industries including character, entertainment, and sports (FIFA, PGA Tour).

C-level bilingual written and oral communication including strategic plans, traditional advertising, corporate communications, annual reports, financial reports, industry reports, competitive reports and market research. General Management legal skills including negotiating and drafting contracts for real estate, human resources, service and intellectual property representation.

Working knowledge of factories and equipment of the aforementioned industries including packaging, printing and product development, testing, and QA. Worked with government agencies for project approvals and acted as Corporate Spokesperson with NGO's for crisis management.

Successful translation projects also include medical reports, pathology reports, lawsuits, scripts, training materials, and Intellectual Property reports.

Fully versed in ES<>EN slang, colloquial and idiomatic expressions, depending on the subject matter, I focus on trans-creating; that is to ensure that the target language version transmits the sensation of the source text, to ensure the end user experience is replicated.
