Wendy Feliz is a translator, transcriber, writer, and educator of the Spanish language. She specializes in literary and technical translations.

Wendy has worked on technical translations for various companies and nonprofit organizations and has worked on the translations of literary works for writers and poets as well as transcriptions for literary works in progress. Wendy obtained her B.A. in Latin American Literature and Linguistics at The Ohio State University, where she developed her skills in Hispanic Linguistics with dialectology, language in contact, and sociolinguistics. She also obtained an M.A. in Latin American Literature and Culture from St. John’s University in New York City, studying literary works from pre-Columbian times to the 20th century. She is a citizen of the world who looks to bring down the barricades of language and cultures through the word and the pen, the most powerful weapons the world has ever had.​​
