INTERPRETER: ENGLISH & SPANISH
I have been a Spanish – English Interpreter for over 12 years, providing both simultaneous and consecutive interpretation with expert-level knowledge in the medical, business and legal fields. I am a native Argentinian, with an outgoing and friendly personality. My experiences span living and working in Hispanic communities in Spain, Egypt, Cyprus, Israel, as well as the United States. My strengths in cultural awareness and empathy, along with exemplary work ethic and self-motivation enhance my ability to transmit messages completely. I focus on conveying denotative, connotative, and metanotative meaning, by assimilating the context, content, function, affect, and register of the original message. It is of utmost importance to me to provide superior customer service and relationships.
