About me
I am English native living in Spain since 1973; hence, my use of Spanish is equivalent to a native speaker. Additionally, I translate from Catalan and Valencia languages into English.
All of my schooling was in England, where I obtained a college degree in Mechanical Engineering.
Since coming to Spain, I have worked in different companies always in the technical-commercial field, getting involved in Production processes, management decisions, and Material and Human resources.
On becoming a freelance, full time, professional translator, I specifically collaborate with a lawyer's office in Valencia, translating all types of documents for his clients, and carrying out simultaneous translations for them, other lawyers and Court professionals, for some years we have been specializing in Real Estate matters, and Financial / Economical proceedings.
My technical background also allows me to handle highly technical texts in Construction, Mechanics, Machinery, translation of instructions and maintenance manuals, etc.
In addition, I have cooperated with several agencies translating technical texts and documents that sometimes include DTP.
My output rate is 3000 words with peaks of up to 7000 words.

Professional translations and interpretations are my speciality since 1984.
- Assessing and assisting small to medium sized Spanish companies to export their products.
- Assisting many foreign companies to obtain raw materials and finished products from other countries
- Specializing in Wood or Lumber working as an inspector and technician; Construction (Building) Materials inspecting production at the manufacturing facility
- Preparing and attending to Trade fairs or Exhibitions as collaborator for companies or professionals
- Assistance to Lawyers in Real Estate transactions
- Preparation of International Commerce Contracts, (selling, purchasing, installations, etc)
- Preparation of Publicity campaigns, (voice dubbing in videos, translation of logos, and brochures)
