Mara Sullivan

I am a trilingual Translator and Language Specialist with professional working proficiency in French, Spanish, and Italian. My background spans live interpretation, captioning, transcription, and ESL instruction across educational, nonprofit, and community settings. I bring a detail-oriented approach to language work, with a demonstrated ability to synthesize complex information and deliver accurate, polished results under deadline.

Whether working with written documents or providing real-time interpretation, I focus on clarity, precision, and cultural nuance. My experience includes providing live Spanish-English interpretation for international visitors, producing captions and transcriptions for audio and video content, and teaching ESL to both children and adults in Nicaragua. I also hold an ALTA Language Proficiency certification in Italian and completed study abroad programs in France and Curaçao.

Beyond language services, I have a strong administrative background that includes managing program registration across multiple departments, building process improvements that streamlined workflows, and analyzing data to support organizational decision-making. I thrive in environments that value accuracy, collaboration, and attention to detail. I am currently open to new opportunities in translation, interpretation, and language services.

Feel free to reach out, I'd love to connect.
