What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to leverage my transcription skills and analytical expertise in a collaborative environment focused on historical and forensic research. I’m web developer too

I am a historian and anthropologist with over 8 years of experience in the transcription and analysis of specialized documents across various fields, including medicine, law, and finance. My academic background has equipped me with a deep understanding of paleographic texts from the 15th to 17th centuries in both Spanish and English. I have honed my skills in digital ethnography and audiovisual analysis, particularly in relation to forensic and medical topics.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven ability to comprehend complex technical terminology, produce accurate transcriptions, and adapt language to meet academic and professional standards. My volunteer work includes paleographic transcription and the contextualization of historical documents, where I focus on public health, medical practices, colonial economy, and financial administration. Additionally, I have engaged in research and transcription of forensic and medical materials, utilizing my experience in ethnographic and digital fieldwork to explore illness, legal contexts, and social behavior.
