Biography

As a freelance translator with a background from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, one of the world's most prestigious public universities, I've found that translation offers a unique window into the history, life, and context of diverse places. My work for the World History Encyclopedia has been invaluable in continuously improving my skills.
My bachelor's degree culminated in the translation of Rudyard Kipling's short story, "Thy Servant, a Dog." This piece is uniquely narrated by Boots, a black Scottish terrier, who, through his first-person account, provides a fascinating canine view of the world and human connections.
I enjoy history, particularly the Medieval period, which has given me the opportunity to learn about the lives of various cultures. When I travel, I research contemporary life in those places, which helps me understand their economic, cultural, and educational context in modern times, allowing me to better grasp their historical background.
