About

Throughout my educational and professional endeavors, I have integrated a flair for rapid learning and meticulous attention to detail into my project management style. My adaptation to new concepts and focus on the finer points have been pivotal in crafting and executing curricula tailored to a diverse array of learning styles.

My time as a Pedagogical Coordinator at the Latin American Film Institute was marked by these skills, where I led the overhaul of course materials and supervised the educational journey of both students and teachers. It was there that I refined my ability to mentor and train, instilling in them the importance of detail-oriented projects and operations. Managing multiple endeavors, I ensured that their academic offerings were of the highest quality and met the nuanced needs of their student population.

As a Freelance Language Specialist at Duolingo, my skills were put to the test in a global arena. I was responsible for translating and proofreading educational content, conducting QA, overseeing recording projects and audio syncing, as well as other projects that touched the lives of learners worldwide. This role broadened my experience with a plethora of cultures and languages, enhancing my capability to manage and collaborate with diverse teams from across the globe. In this environment, my rapid learning curve and detail-driven approach were crucial in delivering content that met Duolingo's standard of excellence, ensuring that learners everywhere had access to high-quality educational resources.

These experiences have not only reinforced my skills but have also affirmed my commitment to educational excellence and overseeing projects.
