Bio
A multi-skilled, professional translator, teacher, writer and philologist who can produce quality texts related to any product or service, for the Spanish speaking market, according to your necessities, trained as a translator of Classical languages (Greek/Latin) and English, and as a Latin, Greek and Spanish language and culture specialist.

Through the study of Greek and Latin, and through my participation as a member of the lexicographical team of Diccionario del español de México (Dictionary of Mexican Spanish), I gained a deep knowledge of Spanish grammar and syntax, and of technical vocabulary of both English and Spanish. This position also helped me to develop abilities as an editor.

My specialization in Literature gives me the skill of creating quality content in terms of style, avoiding common mistakes in the field of English-Spanish translation, such as barbarisms, anglicisms, solecisms, etc.

I enjoy teaching, and I have more than 5 years of teaching experience. I think that one important component of successful language learning is the mastery of idiomatic forms of expression, including idioms, collocations, and frequently used sentence patterns, that is why I base the teaching of Latin, English and Spanish on the practice and understanding of formulaic sequences.

Being a philologist and a language and Literature teacher, I am enthusiastic about absorbing new ideas. I am a quick learner who can communicate effectively with people from all social and professional backgrounds and nationalities.
