I am experienced and have expertise in translating and proofreading English and Filipino (Tagalog). I was born and raised in the Philippines. Filipino is my native language I fully mastered, and English is my second language, which I learned as I studied for my bachelor's degree. I have done translations for medical advertisements, subtitles, app development, website development, legal documents, and psychological test, for which I received positive feedback from my clients. My greatest strength is being a professional who values the client's time; that is why I never miss any deadline without compromising the quality of my outputs. My biggest project was translating a total duration of 1 070 minutes of English subtitles of English films into Filipino (Tagalog). I have excellent verbal and written English communication skills and am tech-savvy.
