Background
My deep knowledge and understanding of the English and Spanish languages and cultures was developed through living, studying, reading and working in the United Kingdom over 25 years, as well as in several Spanish speaking countries including Perú, Argentina and Venezuela.
My plan to become a professional translator came true as soon as the youngest member of the family became more independent and I was able to focus on post-graduate studies.
These include a Bachelor of Science degree (BSc Hons), a Master's degree (MA) in Translation from the University of Bristol (UoB) and a Profesor de Español para Extranjeros (Spanish as a Foreign Language Teacher) certificate accredited by the Universidad Europea de Madrid (UEM).
The first few years after completing my master's degree, I focused on volunteering as a translator for non-profit organisations, such as Fauna & Flora International and UN Volunteers.
Since then, I have worked as a freelance translator for direct clients, non-profit organisations and translation agencies, in the fields of international development & cooperation and environmental conservation.
In addition, I have taught Spanish as foreign language, both to private students and in courses run by private and public funded organisations.
Constantly striving to deliver high-quality, on-time work, that faithfully conveys the message of the original text, taking into account relevant geocultural differences in order to achieve the same purpose.
Fully committed to continuous professional development.
