About me
Completely bilingual translator, Spanish to English and English to Spanish - error-free, precise and quick.

My in-depth knowledge and experience in the cultural and fine arts arena, combined with my inherent love of literature and creative writing, gives me an edge in translating artistic texts (which can sometimes be difficult to understand even in the source language!). Clients in this area include several art galleries and the International Biennial of Contemporary Art of Seville, among others. My years of piano and voice lessons as well as participation in choirs and ensembles are also very valuable when translating music-related texts.
I also have experience translating in areas such as polyurethane applications, travel and tourism (especially in Southern Spain), marketing & advertising, psychology, law and graphic arts.

University studies: International Affairs and Spanish (double major) at Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts.
Spanish Philology at the University of Seville, Spain.

Practical Course of Professional Translation - FIDESCU (Madrid)
9-month distance-learning course.

PLEASE NOTE: My specialty is translation, not interpretation I only interpret from Spanish to English and in informal settings (ie., accompanying VIPs, conversational assistance).

To first-time clients and agencies, I offer a free 200-word or less sample translation. Send the sample to isabellejerry@yahoo.es and follow up with a call to the mobile number listed on my CV (download below), and I will get it back to you within 48 hours at the most.

Rates depend on the style and difficulty of the text, the deadline, and the client. I offer discounts to students and not-for-profit organisations.

I have a list of satisfied clients who have supplied me with written references, as well as some who would be willing to be contacted by telephone by potential clients. Please contact me if you are interested in receiving copies of these letters or if you wish to contact a former client.
