I am a native speaker of American English and South American (Cono Sur) Spanish. I completed my primary education at a excellent private school in South America. I attended high school and college in the U.S. before continuing on to receive my certification as an Early Childhood Educator (Montessori). I was a teacher for the last ten years, teaching children to read and write in English, before deciding to take up translating as my full time career. I have more than ten years experience translating and interpreting in formal and informal settings. Most of my experience was gained as a volunteer or as a secondary part of my role as teacher and assistant director of a private school in Orlando, Florida. I am a great communicator, I follow directions and am able to translate into: American English, South American Informal Spanish, South American Formal Spanish, International Formal Spanish or International Informal Spanish.
