My expertise is in Argentine Spanish, but don’t worry, I also know how to code-switch and tone down the Argentine dialect for non-Argentine audiences. However, it's always a special treat to interpret for Argentine audiences, as I feel I can truly shine when I get to incorporate local slang (when appropriate, of course, always staying on par with the formality level of the speaker). I have lots of experience interpreting for people from all over Latin America, so I have a wealth of understanding of the (vastly) different terms used across dialects.

When interpreting into Spanish, I am comfortable using both gender inclusive language and traditional gendered language, and will make this decision as per the client's specific request, or if not specified, based on my own contextual understanding of audience and speaker sensibilities. 

In addition to my career as a freelance interpreter/translator, I am also a prolific songwriter with a successful music career, well-known in the Buenos Aires independent music scene. Did you know that over 90% of interpreters are also musicians? I find simultaneous interpretation to be thrilling and satisfactory in a way very similar to harmonizing along to a song I've never heard before. The ear is working, the brain is working, the mouth and vocal chords are working, but there's also something else...it's quite mysterious. Something inside me just "knows" where the melody is going and I can harmonize without missing a note...I feel the same sort of cerebral bliss when performing simultaneous interpretation. My brain gets going with its subconscious turbo-analyses and synthesis of the speaker's unique speech patterns and vocal expression, I start to feel deeply connected to the speaker and somehow all the words are coming out just right in the other language...it feels amazing, almost magical, almost machine-like, but fundamentally human.
