20 Years of Evolving Expertise – Translating Meaning, Localizing Culture
With 20 years of experience as a professional Translator, Localization Specialist, and Project Manager, I’ve grown alongside the evolving landscape of technology and language. My expertise extends beyond individual translation work. I have successfully led localization teams of up to 12 linguists, managing end-to-end localization processes and overseeing project execution with precision. I navigate the nuanced world of English to US & Mexican Spanish communications with passion and expertise, ensuring not just linguistic accuracy, but also cultural resonance.
My journey began with a fascination for the intricacies of language, further refined by academic explorations in Computational Linguistics and Product Internationalization. This combination of linguistic, managerial, and technological expertise allows me to lead teams, optimize workflows, and deliver high-quality localization solutions that meet both business and cultural needs.

Beyond translating content, I lead localization teams, define workflows, and ensure quality standards for Mexican audiences.

-
Strategic & Client-Focused Approach: I excel in project management, budgeting, and resource allocation to meet client expectations. My administrative and managerial skills ensure that localization projects align with business goals, meet deadlines, and maintain top-tier quality standards.

ABOUT ME
I spend my time between the picturesque neighborhood of Coyoacán, in Mexico City, and my hometown Ciudad Obregón, in the State of Sonora, Northern Mexico. As a dedicated full-time freelancer, I work from my cozy home office. My passions span languages, traveling, life sciences, research, and geopolitics. Growing up in Sonora, I shared a bustling yet loving household with three sisters and five brothers! My upbringing in a large, lively family instilled in me the importance of clear communication and cultural understanding.
