Santiago

Summary

I am a highly experienced multilingual linguist with over 18 years of expertise in translation, interpretation, subtitling, and AI-assisted language solutions. With a passion for bridging linguistic and cultural divides, I have worked with international organisations across sectors such as tourism, media, IT, and education. I am also a certified Super Recogniser with advanced face and voice recognition skills, validated through testing at the University of Greenwich. Currently, I provide OPI (Over-the-Phone) and VRI (Video Remote Interpreting) services for the medical, legal, and corporate sectors, ensuring accurate and culturally sensitive communication for global clients. Having lived in York, England for over a decade, I bring a unique understanding of British culture and communication dynamics, which enhances my ability to adapt to diverse international and multicultural environments. This experience makes me well-positioned to serve guests from all over the world with exceptional attention to detail and cultural awareness.
