About:

I am an experienced freelance English to Spanish translator
based in Manchester, UK. With qualifications in Translation and Medical
Translation, I bring over six years of dedicated experience in delivering
accurate and compelling translations for the commercial, editorial and medical
sectors. 
Passionate about content writing, research and intercultural
communication, I excel in crafting translated content that captures every
nuance and resonates with its audience.
In addition to my translation expertise, I offer a unique
advantage gained from over a decade of experience in multinational corporate
environments and over two years as a Translation Project Manager. This
background has equipped me with a deep understanding of corporate language, specific
business demands and a truly bicultural perspective that enhances the quality
and relevance of my translations.
