I am a native English to Spanish translator / editor from Spain. I specialise in texts related to technical, scientific, engineering, pharmaceutical and agricultural themes plus all aspects of the food industry.

I have decided to take up translation and related services after witnessing the success and satisfaction my husband (see http://www.proz.com/profile/1286477) has achieved working in the reverse pairing (SP > EN).

I attained an upper second class B.Sc. degree (2:1) in Chemistry with Nanotechnology from the University of Hull, UK, in 2006 - I was, and am, very proud of being awarded the second highest degree level while studying in a language that is not my own.

I intend to use the knowledge gained and my experience working in quality control and the food industry, both in Spain and in the UK, along with the information from courses attended (listed below) to begin work primarily translating in:
Agriculture
Food industry
Wine industry
Quality control / quality assurance
Chemistry
Biology
Biochemistry / biotech
Nanotechnology
General sciences
General engineering
Construction
Technical
Pharmaceutical
Health & safety
Oil & gas
