Spanish (Native)EnglishTranslationMedical OPIProject Coordination

I am Antonella, a Spanish ⇄ English translator who graduated from the National University of Córdoba. Before graduating, I worked as an English teacher for professionals who needed help launching their careers outside of their country; after two years, I got promoted to Academic Coordinator. This position not only strengthened my leadership, problem-solving, and client relationship management skills but also made me realize what I wanted to do with my professional life.

After that experience and later graduating, I started working as a translation project coordinator. This job further improved my organizational skills, stakeholder communication, and operational oversight, allowing me to successfully manage projects from initial planning through final delivery while maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency.

I have also worked as an over-the-phone medical interpreter, helping patients and medical teams focus on the situation and not worry about the language barriers. Interpreting made me value even more the work that interpreters do and the support they provide by doing a good job. That was the moment I decided my future was in interpretation as an interpreting project manager. I want to make sure that interpreters feel taken care of and valued for what they do — the same way they make the clients feel when they do a good job.
