Scott Halfmann
I have seven years of experience working as a translator/simultaneous interpreter in Brazil with some high-end law firms as well as Brazil\'s top public-relations/advertising firm CDN (Companhia de Notícias), based in São Paulo. Throughout this period, I maintained a high productivity in a variety of translation jobs increasing progressively in difficulty through work opportunities offered at the Language and Research Institute of New York (LRI-NY) in São Paulo, South Brazil. Outside the company, I gained experience in the simultaneous translation booth in both volunteer and paid positions, in the complex PR/media driven issues of translation, with film editing/subtitle production, and with extensive publication experience for professional presentations as well as didactic material. Through the rigorous study, preparation and translation of English news texts for classes, as well as teacher-training sessions which I administered, my proficiency in Brazilian Portuguese rapidly reached a level of practical application within the field of on-demand translation/interpretation at our other client-companies.

Jose J. Martinez
BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEER SPECIALIZED IN FOOD TECHNOLOGY, MARINE SCIENCES AND BEVERAGE FERMENTATION TECHNOLOGY. GREAT KNOWLEDGE IN BUSINESS ANDINTERNATIONAL SALES AND MARKETING. Beer Manufacture, Product Designer. Realtor in US and Mexico. Good knowledge of tranlation of legal papers. Hello, my name is Jose J. Martinez; I also live in Mexico, in the beautiful city of San Carlos, Sonora, right on the Gulf of California where I have a condo. And yes, I am semi-retired but have a lot of time for doing translations. You can contact me at the same numbers above when I am in San Carlos. My profession is Biochemical Engineering and I have specialties in 1) Food Technology, 2) Marine Sciences, 3) Fermentation Technology and I have taken many MBA subjects. I have translated continuously for many years and am quite versatile. When I was a very, young child my parents left my native Mexico to the US to seek further education and specialties in the Medical Field. I learned English in first grade in a school where there was nobody else speaking Spanish, therefore I learned English quickly and well. After concluding my Primary schooling (grade 6), my family returned to Mexico for a few years. I had to relearn Spanish and was able to catch up quickly with my classmates. I continued with all my Secondary and Preparatory work in the city of Xalapa, Veracruz. After graduating from Preparatory, my selection for University was the Tecnológico de Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico. The Tecnológico de Monterrey, an institution of much prestige turned out to be more than I was expecting, it was an excellent school. I started in the school of Mechanical Electrical Engineering, where I stayed for four semesters but then decided to change to the school of Biochemical Engineering that had subjects and fields that interested me more. I graduated in 1971 as a Professional Biochemical Engineer, Certified in Mexico. I wrote my professional thesis, about research conducted on formulations of specialty feeds used in shrimp farming; this was when Mariculture and Aquaculture were just starting in Mexico. I later went to Mexico City to seek employment. Once there, I decided to study the MBA at the Mexico City Campus of the Tecnológico de Monterrey. I was not able to finish the curriculum because of my constant travels and changes of residence. I later took and graduated in a Specialty in Fermentation with a sub specialty in Beer Technology at the Siebel Institute of Chicago. Since my family had gone back to Mexico I had the opportunity to use my bilingual skills substantially. I remember interpreting telephone transactions for coffee distributors of my home town with companies like Folgers in New Orleans and other coffee buyers in the USA. I also did interpretations and written translations for the few Americans that arrived in our part of Mexico back then. In those days, there were very few persons that spoke English in my part of Mexico. At school I was always in high demand with my peers because the majority of books that we used were in English, therefore they needed me to translate to them the homework we had to do. I was also asked to collaborate with them because of my English knowledge. My parents had a medical clinic. I was very much involved in the Medical field because I was always a curious kid in my parents’ clinic. I would grab books and check on illnesses and diagnostics, medications, side effects and other related subjects. For my first real job after arriving in Mexico City I collaborated with The Mexican Institute of Technological Investigations for more than six months as a Bibliographical Investigator, I was later with Procter and Gamble as a buyer of packaging materials and then with a CO2 firm named Liquid Carbonic in the sales, operation and installation of Cryogenic food freezers for more than a year. After this, I decided it was time to direct my efforts to more interesting fields. As follows are companies I worked for, and I mention a few words about my experiences there. You can see that in these jobs, there was always a use for my bilingual abilities: Dow Chemical de Mexico. -- Mexico City. Starting out as a Dow product Inside-Sales Trainee, I learned logistic procedures and general policies and practices.

Production Planning & Inventory Control Manager, responsible for streamlining materials management and improving inventory administration.

At Pfizer I got new product development and product launch experience. Stauffer Chemical de Mexico. –Mexico City. Here I held the position of General Director for this Mexico subsidiary.
