Bio
I offer experience and education in translation of technical documents.

With a B.S. in Chemistry, I have wide knowledge in subjects such as Organic and Inorganic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. I also have a Post Graduate Diploma in Translation Studies. I am currently taking a Master in Translation Studies.

I have worked as a freelance translator of documents with specialized terminology. These have included items on Mining, Geology, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Computers, and Medicine. I have also translated law enforcement documents.

A great deal of my activity has involved PC and CAT input and access. I am fully familiar with PC software such as Excel and Word applied to translation. I own SDL Trados 2007 and I am SDL Trados Certified (level 3).

Accuracy and efficiency best describe my performance. My professional experience has been concentrated in translating and teaching English.
