WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU WITH EXCELLENCE
Hello! As an experienced and qualified proofreader, translator, copywriter, editor, transcreator, and transcriber, I can refine and improve your Spanish content so that it has a professional finish, reads fluently and naturally, has the right style, is culturally adapted, error-free, and tailored to your specific needs.
My ability to optimize English to Spanish translations and correct texts generated by AI tools (MTPE) is based on a top-notch professional experience and academic background and will make the difference for your project to acquire the quality required to be successful. I also have experience as a prompt engineer and am able to participate in LLM trainings.
I can work very well with technical, industrial, medical and business, as well as literary, commercial, artistic and educational content. My qualifications cover an unusually wide range: from the scientific or academic field to the humanistic and social fields.
I also offer ASR (Automated Speech Reviewing or Audio Speech Recognition) and TTS (Text-to-Speech) / STT (Speech-to-Text) related services: quality assurance, naturalization, improvement and proofreading of automated translations/transcriptions; and also voice-over recording (neutral Spanish) for podcasts, faceless videos, online courses; language learning apps assesment.
Through my extensive experience in the field of education, I have developed excellent skills in E-learning, curricula design, document formatting, research tasks, academic content review, use of educational technology, LMS platforms, and the design or audit of virtual courses and educational projects.
EXPERIENCE AND BACKGROUND TO YOUR SERVICE
I am an industrial and electronic engineer, philosopher and theologian, with a postgraduate degree in higher education and a master's degree in strategic administration of information technologies. I also have specialization courses in various areas offered by renowned universities around the world.
I worked for a long time as a proofreader, pre-press specialist, editor and author for a leading Spaniard publishing corporation in Latin America. I have been an outstanding university professor for 20 years in various careers and universities. I have also successfully served as private consultant in QA, E-learning, Professional Ethics and Ortotypographical Correction.
I know all the linguistic and cultural variants of Latin America, Spain and the hispanic population in the U.S. & Canada, so I am a specialist in working in neutral Spanish and avoiding any kind of regionalisms, if you are looking to reach the maximum possible Spanish-speaking audience. And, conversely, I can do localization and enhance my work with SEO strategies.

As a proven translator and interpreter for Kekchi/Q´eqchi´, Spanish and English, in the past 5 years as a freelancer, I consistently achieved a 100% accuracy rating on written translations and 100% positive customer feedback. I’d love to apply my language and communication skills with you and continue success through providing precise translation services.
Having spent over 5 years in the translation/interpretation industry, I know exactly what you’re looking for in a prospective hire when mentioning the words “reliable” and “detail-oriented.” Fortunately, I bring that to the table and more.
When I began working as a freelancer 5 years ago as a Junior Translator, I quickly realized that the key to advancing my career was constantly improving my skills. I did exactly that by attending additional courses and completing specialized training programs. Within 6 months, this resulted in a 65% reduction in errors pointed out in my translations by proofreaders. On top of that, I now have experience and skills in medical, legal, community settings and technical translations.
It would be amazing to work for a company whose values and goals are so closely aligned with my own. . An open-minded, forward-thinking approach is especially in the current, ever-more globalized industry.
I’d be thrilled to work with you so I can contribute to building upon your reputation as a language service provider.
