What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can ensure scientific accuracy and editorial precision in bilingual STEM content—especially for AI training, translation quality review, and education—working with teams that value terminology, clarity, and audience-appropriate register.

I’m a bilingual scientist and science communicator with a proven track record producing, reviewing, and evaluating scientific content in Spanish and English. I bring native Latin American Spanish expertise in biological and earth science terminology, plus hands-on accuracy and editorial quality control for STEM content across blogs, books, educational programs, and institutional documentation.

As an Independent Writer & Science Communicator (2022–Present), I produce Spanish-language science content for general audiences, with ongoing focus on biodiversity, evolutionary biology, and earth sciences. I also work on two children’s science books in pre-publication, where I translate biological concepts into accurate, engaging Spanish prose—self-editing for scientific accuracy, terminological consistency, and appropriate register.

Earlier roles sharpened my bilingual, verification-driven workflow: at Ciencia Espora SAS I managed science communication outputs and adapted specialist biological content into clear, accurate Spanish for non-expert audiences, including bilingual workshop materials. At Museo de La Salle – Universidad de La Salle, I supported a 300+ fossil vertebrate specimen catalog by cross-referencing international literature to produce precise bilingual (Spanish/English) entries, and I later delivered bilingual science programs across 15+ institutions as a workshop facilitator.
