Professional Summary
I am a PhD student in Communication at the Universidade de Vigo (Spain) and I also work as a freelance multimedia designer. My research focuses on typographic elements in films, especially creative subtitles. In addition, I am interested in accessible filmmaking, eye tracking, and cognitive film studies. I completed two bachelor degrees, one in Audiovisual Engineering at the Universidad Católica del Uruguay and the other in Psychology at the Universidad de la República, Uruguay, both in 2015. Afterwards, I studied a Master in Digital Media at the University of Bremen and a Master in Multimedia Translation at the Universidade de Vigo. Currently, I am a member of GALMA (Galician Observatory for Media Accessibility). Throughout my career, I have received academic support and awards from several institutions, such as the Universidad Católica del Uruguay, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Universidade de Vigo. I am currently the recipient of predoctoral funding from the Xunta de Galicia.
