Experience
I have been passionately dedicated for over eight years to helping clients meet Spanish and English language goals in my work as an independent contractor, a member of the American Translators' Association, and a volunteer career counselor. I have been a substitute teacher in the public school system and also have taught K5 through 8th grade at a private school. I am a savvy Spanish tutor and an excellent English as a Second Language tutor; I also provide high-quality Spanish/English translation and interpretation. It is my pleasure to work with customers online and offline on projects pertaining to school, business, and cultural awareness. Before branching out on my own, I was a Senior Spanish Analyst and mid-level supervisor for the U.S. Department of Defense for 26 years. My record for consistency, timeliness, and subject matter expertise makes seemingly insurmountable tasks possible to overcome. I look forward to assisting you with your Spanish or English language needs.

Hobbies
In my spare time, I play tennis, play guitar and sing, and I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I love any language-related activity that helps impart knowledge about other cultures. My family owned and rented out eight apartments at a nearby beach for 17 summers of my life. Thus, beaches are an integral part of my lifestyle as well (although I am much more careful with the sun these days).
