Bio

I am a certified translator and English teacher, and many other things in between. Translation was my first degree, and I worked in different projects over the course of several years, among them:

- Translation of tourist guides for JustGO City guides (2006)

- Translation of the content of video courses for Escuelas IADE, a private institute located in Uruguay that offered short diplomas in different trades.

- Translation of user guides, data sheets and related documents for Audical Soluciones Auditivas, a hearing aid clinic based in Uruguay.

- Translation and time coding of the subtitles of films and shows for GAIA TV, through the agency Collot and Baca.

Apart from these projects, I participated as a volunteer translator of TED Talks and for a film festival in Uruguay.

I am currently volunteering for Translators Without Borders.

And my most recent undertaking has been a training course for Trados, which had been on my to-do-list for a long time. Now I can say that I am fully operational in Trados.

After graduating as a translator and taking a year off to travel to New Zealand, I began teacher training in Uruguay and I took the CELTA in Sydney in 2019. I currently work both with children and adults.

I took a short break from translation when I travelled to Australia, and now I am eager to get back into it, and looking for opportunities to show and further develop my skills.
