Cecilia Lin
Raised in Shanghai with exposure to Western culture from a very young age, Cecilia grew up constantly fascinated by varying cultures and languages. After finishing her Bachelor’s degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel hill in political science and peace, war, and defense, she pursued her passion in languages and received a Master’s degree at Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey in Translation and Localization Management.
Cecilia joined Accent on Languages as an interpreting project manager, she is now the program manager of interpreting, vendor management, and OPI departments. She is also a freelance Chinese and Japanese linguist. To her, localization is more than just translating words to words, but bridging cultures with cultures, contributing to a greater cause of globalization.
On her days off, Cecilia’s favorite thing to do is enjoy a good book at a local pub with her Aussiedoodle Pudding. Ask her about her favorite book or alcoholic drink and you won’t hear the end of it.
Project Manager
Macarena Ampudia
Macarena was born in a small town in Argentina. Since she was young she was interested in languages and started learning English at age 7. When she graduated high school she started her Master’s degree in Translation and Interpretation.
In her free time she likes to help friends and relatives translate things they didn’t understand from English to Spanish. That’s when she realized she could help other people who were in the same situation and started working as a teacher helping Spanish-speaking people learn the language. Then an opportunity came to work as an interpreter to help Latin-American families living in the US. After two years of doing that, life brought her to Accent on Languages.
“Diversity is about all of us, and about us having to figure out how to walk through this world together.”
