Source text - Spanish Varios miles de personas recorrieron hoy 2 de julio del 2016 las calles de Londres para protestar contra el Brexit, que fue aprobado en referéndum la semana pasada. Según la BBC, la mayoría de manifestantes es gente joven. Los organizadores piden al Parlamento que invalide el resultado del referéndum, pues consideran que el futuro de Reino Unido está dentro de la Unión Europea. Más de cuatro millones de británicos han firmado entre tanto una petición online para que se celebre un segundo plebiscito. No obstante, el comité responsable de tramitarlo en la Cámara Baja ha manifestado dudas de que todas las firmas sean válidas y habla de "actividades sospechosas".

Hi everyone.
I'm Andres Barros from Ecuador. I grew up bilingual because my family moved to England when I was 7 years old, and I learned the English language through immersion in school and all other everyday activities.
I actually began interpreting as a child, but I just didn't know it. My mother never really became fluent. She was maybe too shy to seek out English-speaking friends. Anyway, since she couldn't understand movies and TV shows, it was my duty to interpret the movies she watched simultaneously. I did that for the 3 years and a half I lived in England, an average of 2 movies per night, every night. This, without me knowing so, gave a tremendous amount of fluency, vocabulary and listening practice.
I began working as a free-lance interpreter in 2007, accompanying an academic from Lybia during his short visit in Ecuador. My work has not been constant since I was focused mostly on language teaching. Being encouraged by North American doctors during a couple of volunteering assignments, I decided to get my certificate in English and Spanish medical translation, which I now proudly hold. I also worked on sight-reading medical forms and can translate medical documents.
Although my interpreting/translating education began recently, and is focused on medicine, due to my career (Business Administration) and my interests (language, science, economics, politics, finance, arts) I am capable of writing translations in from English to Spanish (and vice versa) very quickly and precisely, with minimum need for checking sources such as professional dictionaries. I also speak intermediate Chinese and Japanese, and I have done translations in said languages, but evidently, the time I need is longer that it would be in English, and although I feel competent enough to translate websites, touristic information or even business contracts, I would not yet venture into sciences and medicine, which are more complex fields.
I am looking to gain experience and create long lasting working relationships.
Work certificates can be provided upon request.
