Experience
I have ample experience in the field of communications and language. I worked for OHSU Dept. of languages (Portland, Oregon) for 4 years in routine and high risk environments as a medical interpreter. Beyond the language skills and having travelled and lived in different countries, I am also a multi-cultural individual with extensive and diverse work experience. I founded my own company in 2006, to provide language services to a wide client base. I have also developed as a film producer and film commissioner over the last 10 years, applying production and bilingual skills to several film and audiovisual productions (film, TV and Film Festivals). I have also done consulting work for government planning, budget allocation and project evaluation for the Chilean ministry of Culture and the Arts, and was president of the board of the Creative Industries Cluster in the city of Valdivia, Chile.
