Bio
Certified%20PROs.jpg

I have studied Hispanic language and literature as my first degree and I have a PhD in literature from a British university (UEA). I have studied German for 6 years now. I am also a published author myself. That means: I do not translate just because I speak these languages. I am passionate about translation and I have studied to become a professional one. Even though I mostly translate literature and social-science texts, I have also translated texts about sports, nutrition, health, science, and music.

I also teach literary translation, Spanish, English and German at two different universities in Mexico City.
