I hold a Masters in Social Science (Translation and Interpreting), graduating from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) with Distinction in 2013. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts (2004) and I'm a NAATI certified Spanish to English translator and Spanish<>English interpreter.

I have dedicated my working life to language and communication. In my extensive experience translating and interpreting in corporate and community contexts, I've interpreted for politicians, international athletes, farmers, Aboriginal elders, tour guides, and world experts in fields ranging from public health to engineering. I regularly provide interpreting services to hospitals and law courts, both in Victoria and interstate, assisting the Spanish-speaking community to access essential justice, health and community services.

I am also an experienced and creative teacher. I've been a Teaching Associate in the Master of Interpreting and Translation Studies program at Monash University since 2017. My teaching experience includes training interpreters who speak both foreign languages and indigenous languages, and teaching English as an Additional Language. Additionally, I am an active member of the Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators (AUSIT) and I mentor recently graduated interpreters and translators.

A native English speaker originally from a small town in Tasmania, Australia, I have spent more than five years living, studying and working in Latin America, in Peru, Bolivia and Chile. Consequently, I have a deep cultural understanding of this part of the world. Currently based in Melbourne, I love working with the Spanish-speaking migrant community on a daily basis.

My interests include playing music, stand up paddle boarding, volunteering for Guide Dogs Victoria and reading. I hope to continue working with languages for the rest of my life!
