About

I am a Colombian national who had studied a Masters of Translating and Interpreting. After working as a freelance translator for more than three years, I have developed a strong professional translation practice that lets me achieve not only accurate and clear messages, but also adapt content according to the linguistic and cultural characteristics of the target audiences. My industry knowledge spans across journalism, NGO’s, education, legal and business. As a journalist and communicator, I have knowledge and extensive experience in copywriting, and content reviewing and proofreading with excellent attention to detail. My people-centric nature, my passion for travelling and my interest in understanding cultures have afforded me with outstanding interpersonal and teamwork skills.
