Hi! My name is Valentina Mazzeo García and I am an English <> Spanish sworn translator,
professional registration no. 880 of the Colegio de Traductores Públicos de la Provincia de Mendoza (Professional Association of Sworn Translators of the Province of Mendoza). Although I am a Spanish native speaker, I started learning English when I was tiny, thanks to my mum, an English teacher who shared with me her passion for the language. I have achieved level C2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Language.
I was born and grew up surrounded by vineyards in Mendoza, which is one of the largest and most important wine regions in Argentina, and I come from a family of farmers, so I have been involved with the wine industry since I was a little girl. When I was just 21 years old, I graduated from the Instituto Cultural de Mendoza with a degree in translation studies and I am an English <> Spanish sworn translator. I hold a diploma in audiovisual translation from the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional and a postgraduate degree in legal and financial translation from the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. As you may have noticed, I believe professional development is essential to keep improving and continue providing an excellent service.
“MAGA” is a combination of both of my surnames (Mazzeo and García). “Maga” also means female magician in Spanish, and I believe that we translators are magicians in our own way: our power lays in the power of words.
Fun fact: In Spanish, it also means “a female person who is particularly prepared to succeed in a certain activity”.
Since 2018, I have been helping companies, institutions, organizations and individuals to break down language barriers so that they can achieve their personal, professional or commercial goals. My mission is to provide personalized and trustworthy advice throughout the process and to provide a fast, versatile and efficient linguistic service.
I bring passion, professionalism, enthusiasm, commitment and responsibility to every single project. Owing to my academic background and professional experience, I have the necessary cultural, social, linguistic, terminological, stylistic and writing knowledge to provide first-class translations.
