The Language Pros was created by Mark and Carla Huey. The husband-and-wife team, with more than 25 years of combined experience in corporate sales and the legal field, recognized the needs and challenges of companies that work in a competitive multilingual market. And so TLP was born. TLP serves as a bridge of understanding between languages and cultures by providing professional language services at reasonable costs without having to sacrifice quality. The ultimate goal is to deliver outstanding results that exceed our clients' expectations.
Mark is a native Californian with more than 20 years of corporate media sales and management experience stemming from an international business background. He graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor of Science in international business, with an emphasis in Latin American studies. Throughout his career, he has shown a passion for providing clients with an elevated level of service and strives to make every interaction a positive one by delivering solutions to any given problem. His experience includes working with well-respected advertising and PR firms for the Los Angeles Hispanic market, and his comfort in different languages and cultures is revealed when working with TLP clients. In addition, his fluency in the Spanish language has become an integral part of everyday life, whether communicating with clients or simply interacting with family and friends.
Carla, originally from Lima, Peru, came to the U.S. at age 21 and has lived in California ever since. Her native tongue is Spanish (aka "Castellano"), and she is 100% fluent in reading, writing, and speaking this language. From preschool through high school, Carla received formal bilingual instruction in English and Spanish. In 2007, she attained a Bachelor of Science in family and consumer sciences, with a minor in marketing, from California State University Northridge. In late 2009, she embarked on a one-year certificate program in Court Interpreting and received her California court certification as a Spanish interpreter in early 2011. Carla is personable, dedicated, and zealous at what she does. Her work ethic is second to none, and she is recognized by both clients and peers for being the true professional that she is. She has gained her reputation from the hard work and precision that she applies to every task she performs.
TLP's exceptional management team shares a deep understanding of the language services industry and prides itself on the attention to detail, accuracy, and client satisfaction they provide for every single project. Our clients know that every project we undertake is handled with the utmost care to achieve the best outcome.
