Profile
I was born in Argentina, studied English since I was 7 years old, and after finishing my High School Bachelorship I took the 5 years’ courses for translatorship at the Faculty of Law of the National University of Buenos
Aires (UBA) in March 1981.
I worked in Argentina as a part-time freelance translator since before my graduation, and at the same time working for various companies especially on law and economic subjects, which together with my accounting background helped me get a good experience on these subjects, although throughout all these years the range of subjects dealt with has been notably broadened.
I then started working on translation full-time getting experience on patents translation on pharmacy, genetics, chemical, oil and gas, telecommunications, health care, medicine.
Presently and since five years ago I am also working in the translation of medical and pharmaceutical texts such as CIOMS, Informed Consents,
Clinical Trials and Protocols.
