About Me
MA in German and French from Cambridge University (Emmanuel College, England).
Hispanic Studies Course at Granada University (Spain) with an emphasis on translation:
English into Spanish (first with distinction)
and German into Spanish (first).
After 13 years of teaching (English, German and French), which included translation (German and Spanish into English) as part of the preparation for Chamber of Commerce examinations, as well as for GCSE and A level exams (British education system - German/English), I became a full-time freelance translator in September 1999.
As I lived in Spain for almost 14 years, I concentrate exclusively on translations from Spanish into English (my mother tongue). Despite knowledge of other languages, no other language pairs are offered.
Please note that I only offer translations and not interpreting services. Thank you.
CPD
I have attended the following webinars as part of my continuing professional development:
Translation Theory for Practitioners
Revising Translations - How to offer a Professional Service
