spain-flag.jpg - QUICK, CONCISE, INTELLIGENT TRANSLATIONS - Union%20Jack-web.jpg

www.tranzsmart.my.proz.com

Four years of experience in a number of fields, including art (specifically contemporary mural graffiti), journalism, education, business, management, employment, politics, tourism, advertising, marketing and TV/film/cinema, as well as the ability to translate a wide variety of generic scripts and content, such as certificates, instruction manuals and websites. 9 years of continuous study, 3 months spent in Ecuador and Peru and 18 months residence in Spain has provided me with a thorough understanding of both the Spanish language and its culture, which I actively apply in the localisation of all my work.
