I am a freelance translator of Spanish into English (my native language), based in England in the UK.

Relevant Education:
Masters in Legal Translation awarded by City University, London (2009 - 2012).
BA (Hons) in Language Studies (Spanish/English) from the Open University 2005-2007.

Relevant Experience:
I have six years translation experience. During this time I have translated many different types of contract, judgments, dispute resolutions, goverment regulations, archaeology articles and short stories.

Services:
I offer a competitive, efficient and reliable translation service with a realistic yet rapid turnaround time, using the latest CAT tools.

In addition to my translating work, I am a qualified Teacher of English as a Foreign Language and I specialise in teaching business and legal English. I have worked with many professionals ranging from bankers to air traffic controllers to improve their understanding and ability to communicate effectively in the English language.

In my spare time I am an active member of the local archaeological society and I enjoy yacht cruising and racing, reading, running and playing the saxophone.
