Bio

I've worked as a Spanish<>English translator since 2016.

Most of my work experience as a freelancer comes from science, technical, and special education projects; however, my passion for learning and sound documentation skills quickly fill the gaps when I explore new areas.

Furthermore, teaching Translation courses at a university for almost 4 years gave me a solid theoretical background, which allows me to find a suitable approach for any register, text type or medium.
