Interpreting

I interpret English and Spanish in person and remotely (via Zoom, for example). I provide both simultaneous interpreting (at the same time) and consecutive interpreting (when people take turns).

Get first-class interpreting at your event

You can have interpreting in your in-person meetings and in your remote or hybrid meetings. For in-person events, equipment and travel must be arranged. For remote or hybrid events, each participant must have or bring their own equipment (mobile phone, tablet, or computer).

For an in-person event, you will need two interpreters, an interpreting booth (as pictured here), as many receivers as people will be attending, an interpreting sound system and a sound technician. For a remote or hybrid event, you will need a computer with a microphone (ideally, with a camera) and a reliable Internet connection.

What would be the topic and the atmosphere of the room? How many people will be attending? What is the available budget? Will the event be held in person, remotely, or as a hybrid event? Contact me if you need help deciding on the ideal setup for your specific case.

Ask a question

Understanding each other is key

A meeting or event is organized when the stakes are high for the people present. It is important to choose a team of professionals who are familiar with the situation and the topic. Choose knowledgeable experts who have your back and who will contribute to solving any issues as they arise. Translation quality means that you can trust that the content and tone of what people say gets clearly to the other side and that people leave the room closer to understanding each other.

Published works

I translate books, and I write both academic content and poetry:

Translated books

I have translated several books on LGTBIQ+ topics, fatphobia, feminism, English and technology.

Academic papers

My scientific papers deal with the intersection of translation, interpreting, inclusive language, and feminism.

Poetry

When I let my mind wonder, my body comes up with poetry. Alana Portero said of the book: “Writing poetry that distributes living trophies amongst its readers is a prodigy that rarely happens.”
