Audio description
My name is Rafael López, I am 24 years old and I am from Granada (Spain). I have
a Bachelor’s Degree in Translation and Interpreting (University of Granada) and
currently I work as a freelance translator and I am studying a Master Degree in
Audiovisual Translation and Localization (ISTRAD and University of Cadiz). My
specialties include audiovisual translation (subtitling and dubbing) and localization
(software apps, video games and websites) as well as texts about technology and
computing. I also have experience using DTP tools, so I am able to complete tasks
related to graphic design, publishing, editing and web design.
