Bio
ABOUT ME

I'm a native Spanish speaker, born and raised in Argentina. However, I've been exposed to English since I was 3 years' old: bilingual schools, private teachers, training courses, international examinations, watching a rented movie with a piece of paper over the subtitles, you name it.

TRANSLATION EXPERIENCE IN CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTS. MORE THAN 10 YEARS OF MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE IN MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES

I have worked in local and multinational corporations of different business sectors (petrochemicals, chemicals, pharmaceutical, animal health, publishing, real estate and consumer goods) for more than 15 years, most of the time as CFO and Regional CFO. Finance, accounting, taxes, planning, IT, HR, customer service, credit and collections, payables, receivables, agreements, budgets, presentations, you name it. I was responsible (and accountable) for every aspect of the businesses other than sales and marketing, and always the key contact for the guys in the headquarters.

I have a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration, and Post-Graduate Studies in Management. I don't have any translation credentials but the praise of my customers. Therefore I am open to submit sample translations for free so you can take a closer look at what you would be getting.

TRANSLATOR AND SUBTITLER OF MOVIES AND TV SHOWS. MORE THAN 5 YEARS' EXPERIENCE WITH BIG AGENCIES AND MAJOR STUDIOS

Dedicated, enthusiastic, FAST, reliable and accurate. Final translation reads as if originally written in the target language.

ABSOLUTELY NO SPANGLISH

I always deliver on time (as a matter of fact, always before that), making myself sure that the end result is as idiomatic, professional and accurate as possible. I know this is your business, so I will not let you down!
