GET TO KNOW ME
Angel's passion for languages can be traced as far back to her freshman year in high school when she first took up a course on English grammar. It was at this early age of 14 that she became fascinated with how the English language - whose grammatical rules were developed in countries of low-context cultures such as the US and UK - could thrive in a country of high-context culture such as the Philippines, and imagined its grammar to be a map to the intricate labyrinth of this beautiful language.
When she entered the University of the Philippines, she initially thought of pursuing a degree in English. Instead, she discovered college to be her best opportunity to study other languages and once again be immersed in the new sets of grammatical rules. She majored in French, and took up Spanish and Latin. Before finishing her degree, she also studied Japanese.
Angel began her career as a Tagalog translator shortly after her graduation from the university and her relocation to Japan in 2004. Her passion for social issues first led her to the path of providing services to non-profit organizations as a translator and interpreter using the languages, Japanese and Tagalog. She translated health books, and other city hall documents that were intended for the Filipino residents in Japan. When she worked at a domestic violence (DV) center, she served as a translator and interpreter for the DV survivors in courts, hospitals, schools, and government offices.
When she came to the United States in 2014, she decided that it was time to reach out to a wider Filipino audience. At present, while she continues to collaborate with non-profit and governmental agencies in Japan, she also provides translation services to language service providers that are located in Europe and Canada using the languages, French and Tagalog; and across the United States, she further offers her expertise in the fields of health care, government, education, e-learning and market research. Immersing in the languages of social sciences and health care, she also fulfilled her other calling and in 2018, finished her master's degree in Social Work at Boston University.
