Back in Argentina, I attended the UNC (Universidad Nacional de Córdoba) and after 4 years I got a graduate diploma in translation. In 2002, I lived in England and in Belgium where I translated into Spanish for an international company. I have travelled widely, which has provided me with knowledge of other people’s culture and multiple in-country backgrounds spanning the USA, Europe, Latin America & South Africa. I have also gathered a broad international network of contacts for consultation and support in my specialization fields. Over the last 17 years, I have translated from English into Spanish for private clinics, physicians, biologists, veterinarians, agriculture engineers, farmers, businesspeople or companies, teaching training colleges and international organizations.
