As the child of a Spanish-speaking mother who loved to travel, I started traveling to Spain and Mexico at a very young age. It wasn't until college that I started studying Spanish in earnest, earning a double major in Spanish and English and participating in various summer study abroad programs in Spain. After a 20-year career teaching Spanish at the high school level and developing content for online Spanish courses, I decided to earn a masters in Translation Studies. Although I have strong language skills, I wanted to learn the methodology behind translation and how I can use those methods to create high-quality translations for my clients. I specialize in the translation of educational materials, such as e-learning content, and employee manuals. I am also able to transcribe and translate content for the subtitling of instructional videos.
