About
Words matter.
In the course of my career so far, I've worked in nearly every facet of publishing and translation. I spent six years in Madrid, Spain, where I worked as an ESL instructor, writer, and editor across multiple media platforms.
Since 2011, I have worked in B2B translation management in Chicago. My focus is the translation and linguistic validation of clinical outcomes assessments.
I continue to write and translate from Spanish to English on a freelance basis. From 2018-2021, I was a contributor to EFE America, providing coverage in the Midwest for the world’s largest Spanish-language news agency.
I have proofread, edited, and translated subtitles for such clients as: Netflix, HBO, Antena 3, Cuatro, LEGO, Slack, and Amazon.
In 2021, my first short film, Pan de cada día (Daily Bread), was produced by 12 Pingüinos Animation Studio and directed by two-time Goya Award-winning director and animator Manuel Sirgo. It has appeared as an Official Selection in 70 international film festivals.
