About Me

The Long and Short of It

My childhood obsession with word puzzles transformed into a Bachelor’s Degree in Language Studies with an emphasis in Brazilian Portuguese and a passion for Semantics.

After a few years of living, studying and working as an in-house translator for a tourism company in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I returned to my small town of Ojai in Southern California to give life as a freelance translator a go. It was an instant love match.

Fast forward 12 years, and I am at the point in my career where I want to develop lasting and trusting relationships with my clients.

After all: “Never trust the translation or interpretation of something without first trusting its interpreter.”
– Suzy Kassem

What sets me apart?

Passion for Sustainability and the Environment

While I love translating legal and corporate texts, I am truly fulfilled by translating Environmental Impact Reports, Sustainability & Green Initiatives and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs. I’m an ethical and sustainable eco-warrior.

Open to feedback

I don’t believe there is any one way to translate something. I welcome and enjoy discussing word choice and semantics with clients.

Deadlines are sacred

When I say I will deliver by a certain time, I will deliver on time. Period.

Attention to detail

I’m a formatting nerd. Complex tables, charts, headings and graphics? I’m your girl!

Friendly and Professional

I form real relationships with my clients, which I believe cultivates mutual respect. I want to wish each other happy birthday and celebrate our successes while working hard together to create a pristine product.

This is what motivates me to do my best work

After 12 years in this industry, I have learned that communication and trust are of paramount importance in the translator-client relationship. I am motivated by ensuring that my clients are satisfied with my work and interested in fostering a long-term working relationship.

Satisfied Customers

“Nancy is a kind person and professional linguist.”
“Good translation, always willing to help, good communication. Will definitely work again with her.”
“A pleasure to work with, close attention to detail and deadline. A+!”
“Excellent work! Very timely and clients were very satisfied!”
“Working with Nancy is a pleasure. Professional, reliable and quality. Recommended!”

This is how I continue my learning in my area of expertise

I am continuously building a network of like-minded translators for collaboration and feedback. Additionally, I have been increasingly focused on Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in the areas of Environmental Science, Environmental Management Systems (EMS), Sustainability, Natural Resource Management, Alternative Energy Systems, Geosciences, Green Initiatives, etc.
