About

Maria brings over 14 years of experience as an English-Spanish translator, most recently contributing to Dover Corporation, a publicly traded company. In this role, she specialized in translating technical, business, and HR documents, utilizing tools like Excel, Teams, and AI. Her career began in 2012 as an independent translator, building a foundation in media, entertainment, and education content. Since 2014, Maria has also served as an English Professor at Happy Hour English, coaching professionals in business and technical English. Earlier in her career, a Work & Holiday year in New Zealand in hospitality taught her valuable skills in working under pressure. Maria holds a Tecnicatura in Traducción e interpretación from Universidad del Museo Social Argentino and a Diplomatura in Enseñanza de español como lengua extranjera from Instituto Superior de Letras Eduardo Mallea. After more than a decade of building expertise across diverse industries, Maria is now seeking a stable, in-house role. She aims to dedicate herself to a single focus and thrive within the steady structure of a team, moving from the constant hustle of independent project work. Maria is eager to bring her skills to a US company.
