What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to leverage my translation skills in dynamic environments, focusing on cultural accuracy and creative storytelling.

As a linguist with over a decade of experience, I specialize in translation and localization, particularly in the realm of audiovisual content. My journey began with a Bachelor’s Degree in Filmmaking and Scriptwriting, followed by a focus on Hispanic Languages and Literatures. This unique blend of education has equipped me with the skills to translate not just words, but the essence of narratives, ensuring cultural accuracy and fluency.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with notable organizations like Franklin Covey International, translating corporate training materials for Latin America. My freelance work as a translator and localization specialist has allowed me to adapt dialogues and narratives for subtitling, contributing to projects that have received critical acclaim, including award-winning documentaries. I take pride in my ability to bridge language barriers while maintaining the integrity of the original content.
