Bio

With my extensive experience as a freelance translator and interpreter, I bring a unique set of skills and expertise to any translation project. I am dedicated to providing accurate, culturally sensitive, and timely translations that meet the specific needs of clients in the adoption, education, and medical sectors. I possess native or near-native fluency in both English and Spanish, allowing me to effectively translate and interpret between the two languages. My strong command of grammar, vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, and cultural nuances enables me to provide accurate and culturally appropriate translations.

Translation Expertise: With my experience as a freelance translator, I have honed my translation skills and developed the ability to convey the meaning of texts while maintaining the appropriate tone and style. I am skilled in translating a wide range of materials, including documents, articles, websites, marketing materials, legal contracts, and technical manuals.

Interpreting Skills: As an interpreter, I have the ability to facilitate communication between English-speaking and Spanish-speaking individuals in various settings. I excel in consecutive and simultaneous interpretation, ensuring smooth and accurate exchanges during meetings, conferences, and other events.

Specialization in Adoptions: My specific experience working as a translator for adoption agencies and the ICBF (Colombian Institute of Family Welfare) has provided me with a deep understanding of the adoption process and the legal and cultural aspects involved. I am well-versed in translating adoption-related documents, such as adoption applications, home studies, legal contracts, and other paperwork required for the adoption process.

Expertise in Medical Terminology: As a 5th-year Medical Student, I possess a comprehensive knowledge of medical terminology in both the source and target languages. This enables me to translate complex medical terms, pharmaceutical information, diagnoses, treatment plans, medical reports, and other healthcare-related documents accurately. I have a solid understanding of medical concepts, procedures, and practices. This knowledge allows me to grasp the context of medical documents and accurately convey the intended meaning in the target language, ensuring clarity and precision in the translation.

Familiarity with Medical Documents: I am well-versed in translating a variety of medical documents, including patient medical histories, discharge summaries, clinical trial protocols, informed consent forms, research papers, medical device manuals, and pharmaceutical product information. I am experienced in handling confidential and sensitive medical information with utmost professionalism and confidentiality.

Cultural Sensitivity: I have developed a strong awareness of cultural differences and the importance of adapting translations to the target audience. I am adept at localizing idiomatic expressions, metaphors, and cultural references to ensure that translated content is culturally relevant and easily understood by the intended recipients.
