I have been involved with educational projects in Hispanic countries for approximately 5 years cumulatively. I have lived, worked, and traveled in Spain, Mexico, and Guatemala, and have taught English as a Second Language and Spanish for over 25 years. Most of my translation experience has been in the area of education--general academic information, recruiting materials, certificates/diplomas, letters, etc.; but I also have experience in translation for civil engineering/construction projects, ballot issues, a psychological test, a couple of small personal books for educators, and an advertisement for a Colombian company. I have a master's degree in Spanish with a linguistics emphasis from the University of Colorado, and am currently en- rolled in a specialized certificate in translation online program from the University of California San Diego that will finish in the spring or summer of 2016.
