About Me

I specialize in subtitling and translation

I’ve been in the subtitling game forever and thrive on the nuances of language. Adapting cultural idioms into American English? That’s my jam.

Passion for audio-visual translation
Perfectionist with a love for grammar and accuracy
Expertise with professional subtitling software

Content I translate

Audio-visual materials

I’ve translated audio-visual content for some of the biggest names in the industry, including Netflix and Disney.

Christian material

Translating Christian sermons and materials is my personal favorite. I make sure every word resonates with its intended audience.

Why you should hire me

Precision and quality: I use professional subtitling software, including my own OOONA Tools subscription, to ensure everything is accurate to the very frame.
Cultural accuracy: I’m obsessed with getting the nuances right, ensuring that translations aren’t just literal but culturally resonant.
Comprehensive experience: From QC to proofreading non-native and machine-generated translations, I bring a wealth of experience to every project.

This is what motivates me to do my best work

My commitment to excellence drives me to consistently deliver exceptional work. Regardless of deadlines or hours worked, I refuse to compromise on quality. My name on a project means a promise to do my best—a testament to my work ethic and high standards. This isn’t just about meeting expectations; it’s about honoring my personal integrity. My work is an extension of who I am: a professional who thrives on challenges and takes pride in setting quality benchmarks in translation (and subtitling).
