Language professional
I am a Spanish-to-English translator, editor, and Spanish teacher.
I have a B.A. Spanish from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and I spent my senior year studying abroad in Seville, Spain. Afterward, I completed my M.A. in Foreign Language and Literature (translation concentration) from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee while also teaching intro-level Spanish classes and a couple of courses in Spanish-to-English translation. I taught Spanish at the university for 8 years, then transitioned to teaching Spanish at the high school level, earning my Wisconsin teaching license 1365 (Spanish).
I am certified by the American Translators Association in Spanish to English translation, and was rated at Advanced Mid proficiency level in Spanish on both the ACTFL writing proficiency test and the oral proficiency interview.
