The Language Maven

Anyone who’s met Monica knows she is a sponge for language, even picking up words and idioms that native speakers could go a lifetime without learning. As Owner and President of SpanishOne Translations, she can put her love of language to work daily. Always a stickler for typos and grammar, Monica actually enjoys the tedious revisions in pursuit of perfection.

Monica Nainsztein Rodríguez is the CEO of SpanishOne Translations, a boutique Spanish translation agency that specializes in the creation and translation of Hispanic marketing material. Monica’s award-winning marketing pieces help companies large and small connect to the largest growing market in the US.

With over 25 years of experience in the Spanish language industry, Monica has worked on a variety of projects including technical materials, iPhone apps, billboards, gubernatorial campaigns and Hollywood blockbuster movies.

She has been named “Business Woman of the Year” by the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and SpanishOne is the preferred vendor for the California Chamber of Commerce and the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce. With her new e-book, “Trillion Dollar Culture” (link), her fluency in 5 languages, and innate passion for Hispanic culture, Monica has become a sought-after speaker in the industry.

Monica lives in Northern California with her Venezuelan husband, Alvaro, and their two Border Collies: Durce and Poquita – translation of their names available upon request.
