EN-ES Interpreter- Translator

Since 2003, I have worked as a conference interpreter and translator, collaborating with international organizations, global companies, and multidisciplinary teams. My experience spans international conferences, forensic sciences, UX research, finance, technology, the pharmaceutical industry, live broadcast environments, retail, and scientific content—often in complex, high-stakes settings where accuracy, clarity, and cultural nuance are essential.

I have also served as a project manager for complex, multi-stakeholder language projects, coordinating teams, workflows, and delivery under tight timelines.

Live TV Interpreter

I specialize in live television interpreting, working under intense pressure for high-stakes events such as presidential debates, news coverage, presidential inaugurations, and other nationally and internationally significant broadcasts. Selection for these assignments typically involves multiple rounds of testing, assessing not only linguistic precision but also the ability to perform in real time, on air.

My background in vocal and artistic training allows me to deliver interpretation that is accurate, emotionally attuned, and pleasant to listen to, an essential requirement in broadcast settings. I have also had the opportunity to work on television programs featuring celebrity guests. Live TV is where I feel most engaged and fully in my element.

Voiceover Talent

Since 2009, I have worked as a fully bilingual voiceover artist, recording in Mexican Spanish, Spanish for the U.S. market, Latin American Spanish, U.S. English, and Latin American–accented English. My background as a linguist is a key advantage in this field, allowing me not only to perform scripts, but also to review, refine, and improve them when needed.

I frequently support clients on the copywriting side as well, offering linguistic and cultural insight to ensure messages sound natural, effective, and market-appropriate. My voice work includes advertising for multimedia platforms, corporate and institutional videos, narration, audiobooks, e-learning, training content, and a wide range of digital and broadcast media.

About Me.

I was born and raised in Mexico City, where my parents were convinced early on that English would be an essential tool for my brother and me. They made significant efforts to place us in private schools with a strong focus on English-language education—an investment that would later shape both my career and my life. That foundation eventually led me to formal professional training in conference interpreting, followed by bilingual voiceover training.

However, it was after college, when life took me—almost by chance—to Edinburgh, that I became truly bilingual. Immersed in its cultural diversity, my appreciation for the English language deepened, as did my admiration for Spanish. That experience sparked a lasting curiosity for languages, and over the years I have studied French, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, and Italian. I’m always eager for the next linguistic or personal adventure—these days, much of my free time is devoted to learning how to ride and care for horses, a pursuit that satisfies the same curiosity, discipline, and sense of discovery that first drew me to languages.

Since 2018, I have also managed TILCo, the company I founded to expand my ability to support clients at scale. Learn more about how we help organizations grow here.

My Background.

1999-2003

Bachelor’s degree in Conference Interpreting, ISIT (Mexico)

A four-year professional program combining solid theoretical foundations with intensive practical training. The curriculum included 10 hours per week over four years of hands-on practice in simultaneous interpreting laboratories, as well as systematic training in all major interpreting modes: simultaneous, consecutive, liaison, and sight translation.

In addition to interpreting practice, coursework covered advanced English and Spanish, linguistics, discourse analysis, writing, terminology management, and subjects such as history and international affairs, providing the cultural and analytical grounding required for high-level conference interpreting.

2008-present

Vocal training

(Mexico and US)

Since 2008, I have received continuous vocal training with leading voice professionals in Mexico through some of the country’s most renowned academies and talent agencies. This training spans from introductory dubbing courses to advanced, long-format programs covering the full vocal production process—from breath control and vocal technique to long-form narration, scriptwriting, demo production, and the technical and artistic aspects of professional recording, including work in a broadcast-ready home studio and theater-based training.

In parallel, I have pursued singing training since 1999, studying bel canto technique, regional Mexican music, and modern vocal approaches that leverage microanatomical movements in vocal production. This musical foundation has deeply influenced my work in the booth, informing vocal control, endurance, emotional nuance, and sound quality across spoken performance.
