Micaela Tenaguillo

Instructor

micaela.tenaguillo@bureaucom.com​

Books have always been my passion. I have always been curious, and I never leave questions without answers. I have studied English since childhood but never thought languages would become an essential part of my job. When I was 17 years old, I traveled alone to South Africa for a cultural exchange, and then I realized translation was my passion. During that journey, I saw the importance of my role as a channel between my family in SA and my family in Argentina. Thanks to me, these two unknown worlds could get close, communicate, and relate. After this beautiful adventure, I knew I wanted to be a translator. My passion for languages is combined with my passion for commerce and legal areas, so the texts I translate and produce are adequate for those fields. Today, I have the opportunity to have the job I want; my passion is reflected in everything I do.
