I have been freelancing since January 2006. Recent projects (since October 2009) include:
- Regulations on French fashion accessories trade fair
- Internal newsletter for French food multinational
- Spanish Royal Decree on transposition of EU directive.
From November 1996 to June 2004 I worked as an in-house translator at the Financial Times in London, translating articles from the Spanish and French financial press. About 60% of my translation work there was from French, the rest from Spanish. The work also involved selecting the articles, and editing the work of other translators.
