Barcelona, Spain, was my birthplace and Knoxville, Tennessee, is my current home, from which I serve as an interpreter in many settings, primarily courtrooms and schools. Simultaneous interpreting comes easiest, as I grew up bi-culturally, with many natural opportunities in my dad’s churches in Florida and later Spain, for which I’m thankful. I was certified in 2009.

Native Spanish speaker who’s spoken English most of their life. I was born in Panama and grew up in the United States, where I have accumulated 5 to 10 years of experience in the medical field and now in education. Recently, I earned my certification and am actively pursuing further studies to enhance my expertise.
