About

I am a professional translator and interpreter with +30 years of experience skilled in several technical fields especially in engineering, particularly in the mining industry and associated specialties (mechanics, electricity, electronics, geology, geotechnics, civil engineering) where I have been immersed in for the last 25 years. I completed my studies for my Master’s Degree in Higher Education and have vast experience in teaching. I was a professor in the translation school of Universidad Ricardo Palma and Universidad San Martin, both in Lima, Peru. In addition to this, I was a visiting professor in the Mining Engineering School of Universidad Católica also in Peru where I stayed for two years delivering mining business English courses and rendering translation and interpreting services for the mining school. At present, I recently delivered an Interpreting course at Universidad Cesar Vallejo, Translation and Interpreting School. As for my administration skills, I managed the language institute of Universidad Ricardo Palma for 6 years and the Language Training Program of Minera Yanacocha - Newmont, for three years. I created, founded, and currently run MBE Mining Business English SAC, a company that provides technical translation and interpreting services, as well as specialized translation and interpreting teaching focused on engineering-associated sciences.
