Hello! I'm Peter Houle, born in Burlington, Vermont. I fluently speak French, have advanced Spanish, and Portuguese at an intermediate level with government B2 certification. I've worked across North America and Europe and am currently based in Lisbon, Portugal. I love languages, cross-cultural collaboration, and helping teams communicate clearly in multilingual contexts. Since 2020 I've freelanced as a translator and AI trainer, and I've done content moderation, teaching, and interpretation for a range of organizations including Neevo AI, TranscribeMe, DeepL SE, and CastingWords. I'm excited by opportunities that combine language, technology, and storytelling, and I'm always eager to learn and travel.
