Hello,
It’s me, Yuliana, but you can call me Yuli! I’m a publishing professional and aspiring translator born in a beautiful country called Colombia, currently based in Toronto, Canada.
I have experience working in books and magazine production, pre-press, proofing and colour management. I enjoy working in events, collaborating with non-profits, and sometimes I teach English and French classes.
This vault will be a space to share my journey in translation and writing but also to share some other creative and journalistic endevours.
If you have any issues visualising the following information, you can see my resume here.
