Spanish with Norma C.

Born and raised in Asunción, Paraguay, I earned my baccalaureate degree in biochemistry at the National University in Asunción. Then, I worked for 11 years as a researcher conducting and supervised laboratory investigations related to the molecular biology of tuberculosis, trypanosomiasis, rotavirus, and dengue. I moved to the United Stated in 2008 where I served continuously as an English-to-Spanish translator for the BABES Talking Newsletter, a monthly newsletter that provides linkage and support to HIV infected women living in the Puget Sound region. I have also served as an interpreter at the Seamar Community Health Centers in south Seattle. During January 2009 through October 2010, I completed the Translation and Interpretation Certificate Program at Bellevue College in Bellevue, Washington. In April 2010, I joined the translation team of Quorum Review IRB, where I focused on the translation of consent forms and patient materials for pharmaceutical research projects. I also offer English-to-Spanish translation services through a sole proprietorship enterprise licensed in Washington State
