Bio
I am a native Spanish speaker. I was born and raised in Costa Rica. My English learning started since I was a toddler and as a result I have native proficiency in English too. Also, I attended a bilingual school and high school. I decided on studying English in college because languages had always been my passion. I have a B.A in English with a minor in English-Spanish Translation. I also have a Master's Degree in Translation and a second Master's Degree in English Teaching with a minor in Direction and Evaluation of English programs.

I have several qualities that would make me your company's best choice. My education has provided me with a great understanding of not only the English language but also the culture of English speaking countries. I love learning about everything; therefore, I have worked with several different types of documents from various areas. I am committed to excellence and continuous learning.


 In addition, I have been exposed to the variants of the language, such as different accents and the variations between UK and US English as well as Latam Spanish (especially for Mexico and Costa Rica) and Spain's Spanish. I have been vastly trained in listening, grammar, composition, pronunciation, and intonation among others.

If you decide to contact me you can expect punctuality, responsibility, and accuracy. I have experience in Machine Translation, Post Edition, and Quality Assurance.

I am available to travel (I have a US visa). I do escort interpreting, that means I can travel with you and interpret (whispering in your ear) during the trip for whatever your needs may be; this service tends to be requested by business people and diplomats but if you are traveling to the area for buying real estate for instance, I'd be happy to assist you with your language needs.

Any question or doubt you may have please do not hesitate and contact me. Please check my resume for information on whom I've worked for and the type of work I've done for them.

Best Regards,
Ana Lucía Chaves Barquero
