Education

·        
Bachelor of Arts in Languages (major in English, French, and Spanish
Translation).
Anglo
American University Center of Guadalajara (2016-2020)

This undergraduate degree trained me
as a professional linguist through comprehensive theoretical content of the
languages, the translation discipline, linguistics, and lots of translation and
writing practice.

·        
Bachelor of Arts in Law.
University of
Guadalajara  (2019-2022) - University of
Lille, France (2022-2023)

I am currently studying for this second
undergraduate degree because I am committed to providing the highest quality as a
professional legal translator: I always look to have the deepest understanding
of the content I translate. In addition, as a Law student studying abroad, I
have a better understanding of the legal systems and legal terminology in
English and French.
