Post from Gamamiel:
Hello!
My name is Gamaliel. I am happily married and I have an 11 year old son, Diego, whom I love with all my heart.
I am a Spanish interpreter, and an ESL teacher.
I developed a passion for languages at a young age, but I wasn’t until I lived in the United States that I knew I wanted to make a career out of it.
I went to high school in Pontiac, Michigan, where I learned a lot about teaching English as a second language from my teachers.
After living in the U.S. for ten years I went to Mexico and started teaching English to college students and to employees at companies like PepsiCo and Saint Gobain Glass.
I had my first experience with interpreting in 2014 when I was asked to be the interpreter for the mayor of the city of Riverside California who was visiting our city during the independence celebrations. I had a lot of fun, and it was an honor to interpret for them about my country and my culture.
I earned a professional interpreter certificate in 2015 and, in 2016, I received a certificate for medical specialized interpreters.
Nowadays I collaborate with Boostlingo as a telephonic Interpreter, its cutting edge technology allows me to work from my home office without compromising the call quality.
I love working from home because I don’t have to worry about the time it would take me to get to work if there is a traffic jam or about the cost of gas if I have to take on an assignment at a far away place.With Boostlingo I am always on time for my assignments.
I also continue studying at home, and Boostlingo is great for that, it allows me to make my own schedule.
I am growing professionally and for that I am grateful.

Hello!
My name is Francisco Pimienta, I’m an English<>Spanish interpreter, translator, and senior trainer with over 10,000 hours of OPI and VRI experience in the last 12 years.
I’m an active member of the National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters and advocate of IMIA in my region, within the scope of my expertise are the engineering, medical, financial and legal areas in which I have done variety of linguistic projects, I am also currently pursuing my degree in Law and Federal Court Interpreter Certification.
I have taken part in different projects with some of the largest language providers in the world, but over the past year I had a boost in my freelancing career thanks to the advancement of technology and the new platforms that have been developing revolutionizing the way I am able to perform my job and further advance my career as a linguist.
I greatly enjoy healthy habits and fitness, such as practicing variety of sports including rowing, swimming and water polo.
Getting my linguistic assignments through Boostlingo has become much smoother both managing my workflow and keeping control of my own schedules at all times!
Ever since I became part of the professional interpreter network, the outreach to new clients and the amount of assignments has steadily been increasing helping me advance my freelancing career.
