Spanish – English Translation
Based on my academic and professional background, As a fluent Spanish heritage speaker with eight years of immersion and five years of academic study, I offer professional Spanish-English translation services rooted in accuracy, clarity, and intercultural understanding.
Specialties Include:
Electoral Information
I translated voter guides, election notices, and civic materials to ensure Spanish-speaking communities across Pennsylvania have equal and meaningful access to vital voting information. I am available to provide similar services for electoral activities in any context.
News & Investigative Journalism
I’ve worked with respected Pennsylvania-based newsrooms to bring high-impact stories to broader audiences:
- Spotlight PA – A nonprofit, nonpartisan newsroom focused on investigative and public-service journalism about Pennsylvania’s government and statewide issues.
- The Philadelphia Inquirer – One of the nation’s oldest daily newspapers, serving Philadelphia and surrounding regions with trusted reporting.
Why Cultural Competency Matters
Translation is more than converting words—it’s about conveying meaning, intent, and tone across cultures. My work is grounded in cultural competency, ensuring that translations are not only accurate but also respectful, accessible, and relevant to the communities they serve. This is especially important in journalism and civic engagement, where trust and clarity are essential.
