I have always been fascinated by the study of languages in a general way, more particularly by the study of the English language since the most tender times of my youth. I find it rewarding to deal with different cultures and, as a lot of people do, whereas the English language is widely used to communicate worldwide, I started to dedicate myself to the study of the language from a very young age. Curiosity and willingness to learn led me to this path at first, but soon I searched for a language school specialized in teaching English to improve my skills. As a result, by the time I was an engineering student, I had already acquired sufficient knowledge to use English literature in my researches and studies. Over time, this curiosity just got bigger and bigger and soon I found myself studying other languages such as Spanish, French, Italian and Czech, but, of course, never reaching the level of knowledge that I had already acquired with the English language. One day I decided to take advantage of my condition and to become a professional translator. With that in mind I could kind of be evaluated regarding my ability to ply my trade. It was then that I decided to deepen a little more and I enrolled in an English translation postgraduate course, which additionally would give me the opportunity to learn the techniques involved in this activity, as well as to fit me in the context of the translation business. I completed the course and, to my satisfaction, I got excellent learning outcomes. Since then, I’ve been keeping improving my skills taking courses and participating in lectures and conferences on translation. Today, I believe I can professionally dedicate myself to the activity of translation. On the other hand, I believe that being a translator is constantly being challenged, because we deal with different themes and areas of knowledge. And challenges are opportunities that arise in our lives so that we can become better in what we do. As my academic background and most of my professional life have strong influence of engineering, I believe that my areas of expertise are more closely related to texts of exact sciences. These are areas in which I feel more comfortable to translate because of my familiarity with the terms within it, however, I believe I also have skills to handle journalistic texts, documentaries, biographies, technical texts in general and texts on topics of health and medicine, because I'm into these matters and on which I read a lot. Another area I consider quite relevant is computer science. Professionally, I’ve dedicated part of my life to the activity of computer systems analysis, developing softwares for the engineering area at a particular time and in the area of health when I worked as a computer analyst in a major hospital in my home town, and that is why I have also included the area of health and medicine as one of my areas of expertise.
