Bio
While I am a native English (UK) speaker, I have lived in and around the area of Barcelona in Spain since 2002 and so am also fluent in both Spanish and Catalan. Hence, my working languages are Spanish and/or Catalan into English.

I obtained my master's degree in Translation Studies in 2020. Following this I worked for a year as an in-house translator at the translation agency LexiaPark and have been fully freelance since January 2021.

I am used to working with CAT tools such as SDL Trados and CafeTran Espresso, although am more than happy to work directly with Microsoft Word or through other online platforms.

I also regularly perform transcription and proofreading tasks as well as some subtitling work.
