In fact, all I my life I've always been doing something directly or indirectly connected to languages.
During the latest years I've been working a lot in the LQA Department for Apple Inc, in Cork (Ireland), performing linguistic quality check of the company's software, at the same I do translations for quite a number of Spanish and foreign translation agencies. I like my job, this is what I always wanted to do and believe that I'm a serious and very responsible translator.
