## About

```text
Since 2002, I've worked as a full-time freelance translator for language service providers and direct clients. My work spans software, finance, medicine, legal and commercial translation, and many other subject areas.

Since 2022, I've also worked in localization and project management. I translate between English and Spanish, and work with Portuguese, French, and Italian source content into Spanish and English.

My background includes software quality assurance at Objeq and over 14 years of experience in software engineering and IT. I hold an M.S. in Computer and Information Science, an English-to-Spanish Professional Translation Certificate from New York University, and an ATA verification.
