What I'm looking for

I seek freelance or staff roles in audiovisual translation, subtitling and localization with collaborative teams, steady projects, and opportunities to apply my multilingual and editing skills.

I am a multilingual translator, subtitler and audiovisual editor with decades of experience localizing TV, film and educational content for international clients. I have worked freelance for outlets including VICE Media, TELESUR and CIC Media, providing translations and subtitles between English, Spanish and French.

My background includes professional subtitling, transcription and video editing for documentaries, TV shows and feature animations, plus script translation for animated films. I have produced work for publishers and media companies in the US, UK, India and Latin America.

Earlier in my career I taught English and Spanish in-company and at language schools, and I tutored English, harmony and arranging at Berklee College of Music. I combine language skills with practical software knowledge including Adobe Photoshop, Premiere, Final Cut, Camtasia and Aegisub for polished deliverables.

I bring meticulous attention to detail, proven experience meeting deadlines across time zones, and a commitment to preserving tone and intent in every translation and subtitle project.
