What I'm looking for

I seek roles in translation/localization where I can apply game and technical specialization, work collaboratively on cultural adaptation, and take on project responsibilities that foster growth.

I am a Spanish–German translator and interpreter focused on tabletop games, wargames, and technical localization, with strong intercultural competence and CAT tool proficiency.

I have hands-on experience in localization projects, linguistic review, and bilingual client communication, and I have worked as a freelance translator, technical localizer intern, and language teacher.

I deliver accurate, culturally adapted translations under deadlines, manage projects and client relations, and continually develop specialist skills in game and technical translation.
