What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my legal expertise and language skills in a dynamic environment.

I am a dedicated lawyer with extensive experience in legal translation and transcription. My career began at the Criminal Law Institute at Universidad Central de Venezuela, where I honed my skills in legal research and practice. Since then, I have transitioned into freelance translation and transcription, specializing in legal documents between English and Spanish.

Throughout my professional journey, I have worked with various clients, ensuring accurate and culturally relevant translations. My commitment to quality and attention to detail has allowed me to build a strong reputation in the field. I am also proficient in MS Office and have experience in editing, which complements my translation work.
