In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee wrote, “Atticus told me to delete the adjectives and I'd have the facts.” As a writer, I live by these words; whether it be technical, creative, marketing, or journalistic - I strive for accuracy.

Design
De Madres a Madres is a non-profit organization created to promote and assist mother-to-mother support for at-risk, predominantly Hispanic women, children and families to create a strong family structure. I created the templates for their newsletter and brochure.
The following samples are flyers and business cards that I designed for various companies using Word and InDesign.
Translations
Although I have never held the title of Translator in any of the companies I have worked for, I have been doing translating and interpreting services almost all my life. Since I grew up in a Spanish speaking household, I have been translating for my parents since I was five years old. I got my first taste when my grandfather had a stroke and no one in my family could understand the doctors. I was able to communicate to my family members the doctor’s medical requests successfully, and also relay to the doctor my family’s concerns.
I have honed my skills since then, from sight to written and even real-time interpreting. In my experience, simultaneous translation is probably the most difficult, as there is hardly any time to think and choose preferred wording and phrasing. I have also always been the one, throughout the years, colleagues seek when the need for an interpreter arises.
​
So even though I have never had an official Translator title, I know you will not be disappointed in my skills, as they come coupled with a Professional Writing background.
