Bio
As an experienced freelance translator/interpreter, I enjoy new challenges by meeting them head-on in a resourceful, professional and timely manner.

I cover the following areas: technical and legal subjects including business and government contracts, bids and tenders, laws and draft bills, patents and trademarks, business, finance, marketing, engineering, computers, tools & industrial equipment, environmental issues, tourism and advertising brochures/pamphlets, miscellaneous manuals and reports, art and entertainment.

Accuracy and timeliness are primary concerns and I team up, if required, with translators world-wide and from Panama, especially for extensive or specialized translations.

Certified Translator & Interpreter with over 25 years professional experience.

B.S. Industrial Engineering, California State Polytechnic University.

I'm also a business and marketing consultant, and have produced tailor-made reports on the following sectors: power generation, water and wastewater treatment equipment, PC and accessories market, automotive parts and equipment, safety and security technology, food processing equipment, hotel and restaurant investments, construction, real estate, commercial fishing equipment and others.

As a manufacturers' agent for automotive and industrial equipment, I keep in touch with a widespread network of specialized contacts in government agencies, industrial and business companies and trade groups.

Previous work experience includes management positions with multinational companies such as SKF Industries and General Motors, and dealers/distributors for BMW, Bosch, Sonax AG and tools and equipment.

Have travelled extensively worldwide on business and gained valuable cross-cultural experience on many subjects.

President of the Panamanian Association of Translators and Interpreters (APTI), Shriners - International Fraternity dedicated to Orthopedic and Burn Care for Children, Canadian Association of Panama.
