Helping Others One by One.

I am passionate about audiovisual material. I love watching films, tv series, documentaries...I like learning every day and, more specifically, I like to focus on language. Translation is my cup of tea. I enjoy the task of transferring meaning and intention from one situation into another or from one language into another. I particularly enjoy humor translation. My final year project for my degree dealt with the transference of humor from English to Spanish in Woody Allen's "Love and Death". Thanks to that project I gained knowledge of the history and the procedures of both translation and audiovisual translation and also of the main mechanisms used for humor transference. I really like to watch tv series such as "Friends", "How I met your mother", "Scrubs", "The big bang theory"...and I can't help paying special attention to language and the way it's rendered in another language. I have passed a course on Professional subtitling and on Translating scripts for dubbing and as a way to keep growing and gaining experience I would really appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this community with my work as a subtitler.

Solving core issues in all sectors - Economics, environment, culture. Always happy to support ANYONE who knows a solution to a problem. To many people talk about the problem without a solution. Plastic, climate change etc I hear a lot of talk, with only “we need to solve this”. Great, how? I believe there are easy solutions to global issues and we have found the solution for global poverty and if I have found this solution, there must be easy solutions for the other big issues we face, while I believe life is simple and people make it complicated.
