Laura Valdés, Founder of Valdes Language Services

Translator and Interpreter for Spanish <> English

Language access is critical in today’s world.

✔️Did you know that there are over 42 million people in the United States that speak Spanish?
Spanish is the second most spoken language in the U.S.
✔️How many of those people can’t access your services and resources because you haven’t hired an interpreter and translator?
✔️What happens if Spanish speaking communities miss out on your services and resources?

Now you can connect with Spanish-speaking communities by bridging the
Spanish <> English language gap with me, a passionate, multi-linguist interpreter and translator.
