What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my language skills and administrative experience in a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated bilingual translator and administrative professional with a strong background in various roles across different industries. My experience includes working as a translator and proofreader for Babel International Translators, where I translated contracts and clinical trial documents from Spanish to English. I have also served as a freelance translator and transcriber, focusing on documentary films and young adult literature.

In addition to my translation work, I have held positions that required strong organizational and communication skills. As a Digital Archivist at IDW Publishing, I managed the digitization of original art and maintained an extensive image archive. My role as an Outreach Ambassador for DecoBike involved canvassing local businesses and managing social media, showcasing my ability to engage with the community effectively.
