Bio
For over a decade, I've been helping clients,
companies, and agencies achieve their goals through bilingual
translation, revision, editing, and transcription services. As someone
who is passionate about languages and linguistics, I thrive in providing
high-quality translations from English to Spanish and Spanish to
English.

During my two-year tenure at Amino Apps, I had the honor
of translating and localizing the entire app (using Transifex) and
various contents into Spanish. Additionally, I spent two years and seven
months working as a member of the Duolingo translation team, where I
translated and localized content for Spanish language learning, while
also conducting LQA for the App's content.

My collaborations with
leading companies and agencies in the transcription and translation
industry, such as Advanced Building Skins Gmbh, Baystate Interpreters,
Inc, Babbletype, Transcription Panda, More Than Walking, TypeHype,
Global Linguals, The Spanish Group, AlphaScribes, Appen, WebInterpret,
and Toppan Digital Language, have given me extensive experience working
as a freelance translator, transcriber, and subtitler.

As a
tech-savvy, growth-minded, proactive, responsible, and reliable
professional, I pay keen attention to detail, and have extensive
teamwork experience. I'm actively seeking opportunities for translation,
proofreading, transcription, localization, transcreation, and
subtitling.

I specialize in various areas of translation and
transcription, including education, marketing, legal, business, finance,
video games, iGaming, engineering, construction, architecture, general,
fitness, and health. With advanced knowledge and use of computing tools
such as Google Suite, Microsoft Office, Express Scribe, InqScribe, and
CAT tools like SmartCat, MateCat, Transifex, Phrase, OmegaT, and various
TMS, I deliver top-notch services with exceptional accuracy and
quality.

Finally, my knowledge of ChatGPT, SEO, data entry, and
internet research adds an extra layer of versatility to my skillset,
allowing me to provide comprehensive and tailored services to my
clients.
