About Me
Profile Type: Individual
Year Founded: 2007
Number of Employees: 1
I was a journalist for 3 years - 2002 to 2004 - and since 2005 I have been in the Qualitative Market Research field, working for companies as Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft and Unilever.
All my duties as a qualitative researcher are related to communication, but some are specially related with writing different kinds of documents: reports, discussion guides, questionnaires,etc.
At the same time I work as a professional freelancer, writing/ editing content and translating english texts into spanish.
I have specific experience in Web content creation; I have a Degree in Web design from ORT University and particular studies in web writing and Usability (Usability makes Web content easier to read at the same time that helps search engine optimization). Then, as I have knowledge of users behavior in the Internet, I will create or translate your content using the best expressions to make them adequate for this particular communication channel, working on titles, subtitles, links, paragraph length, style (bold, italic), general coherence, content quality and completeness.
When I work on projects, I give my best and I do not give up until reaching what I believe is necessary for achieving excellent results. I am extremely passionate about writing, and my job as a market researcher has given me further tools to comprehend the importance of understanding the target audience needs before writing.
In addition, I have 7 years experience working remotely, so I guarantee a professional service: high quality product, on time delivery and personalized attention through Skype, e-mail or IM.
Besides, I am a musician, composer, lyricist, singer, and guitar and organ player. I have been playing instruments since the age of 8, and I have studied Music Theory for many years. Currently, I am preparing my first music album.
