About me

LorenaI'm a professional translator, conference, medical interpreter, court certified interpreter for the States of Nevada and California, and Spanish instructor and tutor.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Accounting with concentration in Taxation and several certificates in Finance and Corporate Finance from the Escuela Bancaria y Comercial, SC and the Colegio de Contadores Públicos de México. I obtained formal translation training in Mexico through a Certificate from the Universidad Iberoamericana, and in the U.S. through the Translation Center at UMass Amherst. In 2013, I completed a Master of Arts in Hispanic Studies with emphasis in Technology, Latin American Culture, and Translation from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV).

I have been translating for over 15 years, specializing in law, contract law, corporate law, finance, auditing, taxation, economics, accounting, theology, religion, healthcare, and marketing. My professional interpreting career fully developed in the U.S., first as a conference interpreter, and more recently, as a court interpreter.
