What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a bilingual, detail-driven executive support role where I can coordinate calendars, manage confidential communications, and apply research/data tools to improve workflows within an international team.

I’m a bilingual (EN–ES) professional delivering executive support, administrative coordination, and translation work in fast-paced corporate environments. I’m known for strong organizational abilities, attention to detail, and a commitment to confidentiality and discretion.

Across roles supporting senior leadership and international teams, I’ve managed front-desk operations, access control, vendor coordination, and workspace logistics, while tracking facilities expenses, purchase orders, and invoices. At Herrenknecht AG, I assisted the Managing Director and coordinated logistics for visiting staff; at S&P Global, I worked as a Data Researcher and translator, translating and revising financial and administrative documents while maintaining translation memories and supporting QA and automation initiatives.

I also bring ongoing freelance EN<>ES translation, localization, and proofreading experience—along with English tutoring—balancing deadlines and multi-client assignments with accuracy and consistency. I’ve complemented my core support work with digital tools (Slack, Power BI, Outlook, MS Teams, Google Workspace) and AI tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity), including collaboration on an “AI error correction” initiative and creating a bilingual onboarding guide for foreign technicians.
