Bio
English to Spanish freelance translator with over ten years of experience translating, editing, and proofreading for a variety of academic institutions, agencies, companies, and organizations. I specialize in the social sciences but have worked with a broad range of subjects, from children’s toys to oil and gas pipelines. 

I have a B.A. in English Literature, with a specialization in literary translation, from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. After graduating, I did a month-long residency at the Banff International Literary Translation Centre. I also finished the coursework for a B.A. in International Relations at El Colegio de México. Currently, I live in Aguascalientes, Mexico, and connect with clients around the world.
