Sol Madariaga

Hello there!

My name is Sol Madariaga and after residing for 7 years in the US, where I graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The University of The Arts Philadelphia, PA, I returned to Argentina, where I continued to hone my social, leadership and problem-solving skills in creative and dynamic environments.

I currently work as a freelance translator and voiceover actor in my spare time. A little bit about the profile you would be adding to your team:

• Leadership skills 
• Creative and detail-oriented 
• Collaborative and flexible 
• Efficient under pressure 
• Introspective and perseverant

I had the pleasure of developing my career within the East Coast theatre scene in live event management, hospitality, and customer service roles, where I perfected my team-building and leadership skills. The Wilma Theatre, Philadelphia Theatre Company, The Kimmel Centre and Philadelphia Young Playwrights are amongst the companies at which I have had the opportunity to grow professionally, thanks to their dynamic environments.
