About Me
Hey! I’m Shelley
I am a freelance translator, specialized in web localization, marketing, and literary translation. I’ve been translating for over 10 years for international authors, NGO’s, private institutions and publishing houses.
I was born and raised in Colombia, and I am currently established in the Dutch Caribbean. I chose the Island of Curacao because is the perfect place to build a network of friends and professionals from all over the world, and who speak different languages.
I’m a polyglot, but for quality assurance I’ve specialized and partner with professional translators to provide reliable translations in the following pairs:
English, French and Dutch > into Spanish
Spanish, French and Dutch > into English
English > into Dutch
When I am not translating, I love hiking, walking with my dog, tasting international food or studying online.

“Translating is my passion. It is the only human activity that quenches my thirst for knowledge, to better understand the world and see through other eyes.
Being a bridge for the transmission of an important message is my greatest reward.”

Sometimes I even help companies build their content strategy, drive SEO, and structure an online marketing strategy.
