About me
Translating is, definitely, my life.


My strong will to constantly search and learn, and my perfectionist way of working are my best friends every single morning when I turn on the PC and start working.

I'm always willing to discuss terminology and other matters concerning my work both with other profesionals and clients, and I'm always open to new and different approaches to a project or text. This is why I joined Proz.com, and why I intend to contribute in every way I can to this community.

I have never missed a deadline and I always keep in mind the clients' instructions and hold them sacred.

Some of the translations I've done have already been published, such as:
