Bio
I'm an English/Spanish – Spanish/English translator with over 10 years experience as an Account Director and Translator in Advertising Agency environments in Puerto Rico and Miami. My areas of expertise include transcreating Marketing and Advertising content for website, TV/radio and newspaper.

I'm currently a translator at Spirit Airlines and have had the privilege of working with top international clients such as McDonald's, Sprint, Nestlé’s Hispanic Marketing Program “Más de Nestlé”, MasterCard, The Home Depot, Whirlpool Inc., Blockbuster and Gymboree Play & Music among others, for which I have written and translated billboards, articles, press releases, marketing/advertising materials, etc.

I was born and raised in Puerto Rico by an American father and Brazilian mother and currently live in the U.S. This has given me a deep understanding of both American and Hispanic cultures. I have a bachelor’s degree in Communications with a Major in Advertising. My background as a professional Account Director in Advertising and Marketing agencies has also given me the experience of working with Hispanic markets and provided me with the cultural awareness, consumer knowledge and advertising skills that Advertising/Marketing translation requires.

I'm skilled in MS Office (Word, Power Point and Excel). I can receive and work with files in MS Office as well as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Additional samples and references of my work are available upon request.

I look forward to the opportunity of working with you.
