What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles in professional translation and localization, with a focus on accuracy, consistency, and clarity. I value opportunities that allow me to deliver high-quality translations for organizations while meeting deadlines and supporting effective global communication. My goal is to contribute linguistic expertise that enhances cross-cultural understanding.

I am an audiovisual translator and cultural project coordinator with extensive experience in subtitling, transcription, and localization for film festivals, production companies, and streaming platforms. My work includes translating feature films, documentaries, short films, scripts, press kits, and academic/cultural texts with accuracy, creativity, and cultural sensitivity.

Previously, I worked as Programming Manager at Cinépolis Chile, where I coordinated film schedules, events, and industry relations. I have collaborated with major festivals such as FIDOCS, FICValdivia, and SANFIC, contributing both translation and coordination support.

Beyond translation, I am passionate about bridging cultures through cinema, and I have built my own brand, Puerto Cinema, dedicated to promoting independent and international films. My interests include global film cultures, audience development, and creating accessible, high-quality translations that connect stories to wider audiences.

I am seeking opportunities where I can combine language expertise, cultural knowledge, and project coordination skills.
