ROBERTA HEIGH WEIR
P R O F IL E
I am an ATA Certified Spanish-to-English translator, editor, reviewer, and proofreader
with 15 years of experience providing language services. I have translated over
5,700,000 words, maintaining perfect quality and 100% on-time project delivery.
After living in Costa Rica for 34 years, I became a dual citizen of that country and the
US, my country of birth. As a result, I speak, write, and read Spanish fluently and thus
translate from Spanish into my native US English. I founded and operated a non-profit
organization in Costa Rica and now live in Egypt, working full-time as a freelance
remote translator with important enterprise clients worldwide.

I was responsible for all facets of the non-profit dedicated to natural reforestation in
Costa Rica. I led teams of up to 30 people in the field and ten or more in the
administrative facet. I initially co-founded the non-profit in Costa Rica and then started
another branch in the US with 501c3 status. The organization planted over 150,000
native trees in Costa Rica’s northern zone.
