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. As a teacher, I worked as a tutor
and as a teacher at primary and secondary schools, at an English teacher training
college, and at other institutions.
Apart from translation, copy editing and proofreading services, I offer English
training services, especially, medical and pharmaceutical English courses to help
professionals and students learn the English vocabulary and skills they need to read
and understand specialized texts, and come across well in a workplace context.
My work is based upon quality, responsibility, integrity, confidentiality, flexibility,
and kindness.
