Spanish to English Interpreter - FC BAFA Online Sports App - Buenos Aires, Argentina
Entrepreneurship
Volunteer interpreter between English-speaking FC BAFA team organizers and native Argentinian soccer (futbol) recreational players

Interests: Following my college graduation, I aspired to become more conversational in Spanish by creating an immersion environment – this meant investing countless hours listening to Spanish television networks. This exercise in intense self-study prepared me for a three-month excursion to Buenos Aires, Argentina from January - April 2023.

While in country, I enjoyed lengthy dialogues with native Argentinians during visits to tourist attractions, local businesses, and restaurants. I also worked as a volunteer translator for English-speaking tourists with whom I became acquainted while playing recreational soccer.
