Welcome! My name is Eugenia García. I live in Buenos Aires. I am a literary,
technical and scientific translator and a Foreign Language teacher. Furthermore, I
completed the post-graduate course Training the Translator as a Spanish Copy
Editor and Proofreader. I am a member of the Argentine Association of Translators
and Interpreters (AATI).
I have been rendering translation, editing and proofreading services since 2006 so
that my clients can communicate clearly, precisely and globally. My fields of
expertise as a translator are medicine and pharma, education, human resources
and coaching. Moreover, I have experience in literary texts (scripts and short
stories for kids), film press releases, and texts on accounting, finance and business
in general.
I worked as an in-house translator at the pharmaceutical company Asofarma for six and a half years. In addition, I worked as a Spanish copy editor and proofreader at a pharmaceutical marketing company, and as a translator and administrative employee at a patent and trademark law firm. Concerning teaching, I worked as a tutor and as a teacher at primary and secondary schools, at an English teacher training college, and at other institutions.
My work is based upon quality, responsibility, integrity, confidentiality, flexibility,
and kindness.
