I have been working for ten years at the border by the sea, opening the door for changes, new technologies, treaties (NAFTA) and other innovations in trade and health related issues. I also worked with Ecological and Enviromental Protection Agencies, Health Organizations, Sea Turtle Conservation Activists, Federal Parks and Wild Life and other organizations. I have translated extradition proceedings and related legal documents. Translated employee's manuals and labor contracts for American companies doing business in Mexico, as well as technical procedures and manuals.

How in the world I forgot to mention that I worked for the Mexican government, in Mexico City for almost five years, as an intern first, and then, after three years or so I was in charge of a Department. I worked for the Treasury Department (SHCP). The years I worked for the Treasury Department in Mexico City at the National Palace (similar to the White House in the U.S.), provided me with great knowledge on treaties and regulations. After all this opportunity, I had to continue updating my knowledge either through interpreting at an international level or being in contact with my clients on a daily basis.
