Certified and experienced translator
I’m a bilingual translator (English to Spanish and vice versa) from Madrid, Spain, where I currently live. I have more than six years’ experience translating professionally.
After finishing my undergraduate degree in physics at La Laguna University I settled for a while in the UK, first in Edinburgh and then in London. That "while" turned into nine whole years!
There I worked as a science and technology technician which allowed me to acquire in-depth knowledge of the English language, both in general and in those fields. I trained as a translator at Westminster University and earned a Diploma in Translation from the Institute of Linguists, with a specialisation in science and technology.
As a freelance translator since 2009, I’ve worked for different corporate clients on documents and reports for multinational companies like BP and Nissan. I’ve mainly worked in the environmental sciences, IT, energy & risk assessment, often on a team with engineers and technicians.
My interests, however, are much broader, and I am now studying philosophy at the Spanish distance learning university, UNED. I’ve also translated in the field of social sciences and research for publishing houses like Volapük and FAL.
