By using our top-quality team of certified translators, who are masters of both Spanish and English, rest assured that your work will not only be accurate but will also capture the tone of your original message.
BilCom was founded in 2003 by a group of word professionals — translators, journalists and academics — who were dissatisfied with the quality of Spanish translations surrounding us in our daily lives. Because we’ve assembled a top-quality team of certified translators who are masters of both Spanish and English, you receive for your Hispanic readers a higher level of accuracy and richness of style than from other agencies. Company founders are:

Patricia V. Rivera, an experienced bilingual writer knowledgeable about Hispanic culture and issues, founded BilCom Group. She manages the group's day-to-day operations. As a journalist, she has worked for The New York Times, The News Journal  in Wilmington, Delaware, USA Today and The Dallas Morning News. Her work in marketing communications includes writing bilingual copy for Web sites and print brochures, narratives about companies for award nominations, and press releases about special events. The recipient of a Pew Fellowship in International Journalism, Patricia holds a B.S. in Communications from the University of Tennessee, where she focused her studies on print journalism and Latin American studies. She's also an adjunct Spanish instructor at Delaware Technical & Community College.
