Maria Laura Garcia Mesa

Ever since she can recall, Maria Laura, a native of Argentina, has had a passion for languages, travel, cultures and communication. As a child Maria Laura attended a bilingual school in the city of Buenos Aires where the family lived. English and social studies were her favorite subjects.As time went by what started as curiosity and enjoyment of learning a new language developed into a true passion for history, social studies and cultures.

While still at university she began her professional career at a private English School in Mar del Plata, Argentina. Her first years at the school were primarily in administration, and public relations but she also gained valuable experience in teaching. It was here, where by regularly collaborating with the translation department that she discovered that the translation process was clearly something she enjoyed.

In 2004, Maria Laura decided she was ready for a change in lifestyle. Soon after her decision, she was regularly working for a handful of international clients, providing translation services into Spanish from English and Danish.

In 2008, Maria Laura finished her specialization as a medical interpreter. Although, she enjoyed every project she took part in, it was in the medical field where she felt her service-oriented personality and her belief that communication is a tool to make substantial changes in the life of others came together. It did not take long for clients to recognize Maria Laura´s abilities to deliver simple and effective solutions for their communications needs, and they started asking her to coordinate translation projects into other languages. That was the beginning of SIT: We Translate. Linguistic Solutions for Medical Travel

Maria Laura’s 15 years of experience in the language industry, communication, travel and the medical field meet at SIT where she is a partner and works coordinating multilingual translation projects for the stakeholders within the Medical Tourism and Travel sector.
