Soy + [profession] is the most common way to say your profession in Spanish.
It is equivalent to "I am a + [profession]" and it's the direct answer to the question, ¿A qué te dedicas? ("What is your profession?"). For example:
Soy diseñador gráfico - I'm a graphic designer.
The profession noun must agree in gender with the speaker, and the article ("a" or "an") is generally omitted.
| Profession (Feminine) | Profession (Masculine) | Example Structure | English Meaning |

profesora | profesor | Soy profesor. | I am a teacher. |
doctora | doctor | Soy doctora. | I am a doctor. |
arquitecta | arquitecto | Soy arquitecto. | I am an architect. |
