I have also successfully served as private consultant in Linguistic Quality Assurance, Ortotypographical Correction, E-learning, and Professional Ethics. I know all the linguistic and cultural variants of Latin America, Spain and the hispanic population in the U.S., so I am a specialist in working in neutral Spanish and avoiding any kind of regionalisms, if you are looking to reach the maximum possible Spanish-speaking audience. And, conversely, I can do localization. *** Top-Rated & 100% Job Success Score *** Take a look at my reviews! *** Read what Upwork's AI say about my skills
