My name is Christine Gascho Vera and I am writing you from Waterloo, Ontario Canada.
Here is a summary of my background and experience.

Mexican Migrant Workers
I have worked as a Spanish translator between an Engineering Firm out of Elmira, ON and their business in Argentina.
I worked with Mexican Migrant workers at a farm in Southwestern Ontario translating WHMIS Health and Safety Manual and interpreting for the English and Spanish speaking staff on the farms.

Overseas Work:  
In my teens I lived in Puerto Rico in the Caribbean and in Bogota, Colombia with my family.  
My experience in Mission work is from my parents who became missionaries with 'Youth With A Mission' later in life. 
Our first overseas experience was in Puerto Rico, whereupon my parents were introduced to the directors from Bogota, Colombia, SA.  They were then invited to be a part of the team there. 
Upon completion of high school, I attended Bethany Global University (affiliated with Bethany Publishing House at the time) in Mpls, Minnesota, where there are many Norwegians who have made the Northeast home. 
My experience after college was working in St. Croix, U.S.V. I.  I also was teaching for Mexican and expatriate children for 1 school year in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. 

I established a Spanish Translation business to provide translation services, to both business and individual clients doing business with Spanish speaking clients. 
As a Spanish interpreter and translator, I have worked in simultaneous telephone interpretations in the medical and technical fields.  My written translation work includes specializations of medical, social and technical documents. 
 
From 2006-2011 I worked as a Spanish interpreter with both the Waterloo Public and Waterloo Catholic School Boards
