Overview:
As a native Spanish speaker with over 25 years of experience in IT and editorial environments, I specialize in accurate, culturally relevant English-to-Spanish translation and Spanish editing for professionals, brands, and businesses.
I offer more than translation — I deliver localized content that makes sense to your target audience, maintains your tone and intention, and respects regional formats and conventions.
What I Can Help With:
📝 English to Spanish Translation (Marketing, Technical, Business)
🖋 Spanish Copy Editing & Proofreading
📄 Localization of Product Sheets, Presentations, Sales Materials
🌍 Adapting content to Spanish-speaking markets (language + context)
What You’ll Avoid by Working With Me:
❌ Machine-like, literal translations that miss tone and nuance
❌ Awkward grammar or phrasing that damages your brand’s credibility
❌ Time wasted correcting or rewriting low-quality work
❌ Communication breakdowns with non-native or inexperienced freelancers
I bring deep attention to detail, an understanding of both corporate and cultural nuance, and a commitment to clear, accurate, high-quality Spanish.
Let’s make your Spanish content sound like it was written that way from the start.
