About Maria Montoro

I\'m creative, an avid multitasker, and a good communicator. Technology and languages are my passion. Most recently I have been involved in the localization industry, assisting as a test lead for major linguistic software testing projects and acting as a consultant for my native language, Spanish from Spain. For the past several years, I\'ve mainly worked as an Editorial Director, Website Manager, and Web and Graphics Designer, managing journalists and content for two high-profile video game websites, creating powerful designs, planning marketing strategies, maintaining websites and databases, translating between English and Spanish, and communicating with PRs, as well as diverse clients and vendors. I previously created and launched a bilingual video game website, which reached hundreds of thousands of gamers around the world, as well as directed another one that had millions of visitors. Specialties: Web management, web and graphics design / development, web & software QA, project lead, localization, database maintenance, writing, hiring and managing people, PR relations, content development, editing, Spanish / English translations, technical troubleshooting, and more.
