@sofiacastro
I am a project manager and translator specializing in localization and multilingual coordination.
What I'm looking for
I studied Sworn English Translation at Universidad Nacional de Córdoba - Facultad de Lenguas and completed secondary education at Colegio Anglo Americano with a humanities focus and English specialization.
I have served as Project Manager at delsurtranslation and SumaLatam and currently work as Project Coordinator at Flix Translations, managing projects from start to finish, interacting with clients, confirming deliveries, and handling billing and resourcing.
I regularly use CAT tools and platforms such as memoQ, Wordfast, SDL Trados Studio, Plunet and other tools to deliver localization work; I have experience in subtitle translation, audio and speaker validation, and data collection for U.S.-based research calls.
I consider myself hardworking, flexible, highly organized and an expert at multitasking; I enjoy setting new challenges, continuous learning, and have experience tutoring English and preparing students for international exams.
