Diego Ochoa

Native Spanish speaker from Mexico with a Bachelor's degree in Communications and Anthropology and professional experience in bilingual communication, Spanish language instruction, translation, online research, information verification, and cross-cultural communication. My professional background has required careful attention to language, context, accuracy, and the needs of people from different cultural backgrounds. As a Spanish teacher and translator, I regularly analyze language, explain cultural differences, identify linguistic errors, and adapt communication to different audiences.

As a real estate consultant, I conducted online research, verified information, and communicated complex information accurately to both Mexican and international clients. I am interested in applying these transferable skills to AI evaluation and training, particularly in projects involving language quality, cultural context, online communication, and factual accuracy.
