Bio

I am a professional freelance translator (Spanish and Catalan to English) located in the province of Valencia. I have been translating off and on (mainly on) for the last 25 years, accumulating more than 20 years of experience in a wide variety of texts.

I have a master's degree in Translation and Communication from the Oxford Centre / The Shakespeare Foundation of Spain (Valencia, Spain) and a bachelor's degree in European Business and Technology from Coventry University (UK).

I specialise in tourism, the arts, technical documentation, government and public administration, environmental issues, and contracts, but I will generally take on any subject except financial records and accounts.

I have lived in Spain since the early 90s, mainly in Valencia and Barcelona. I have extensive knowledge of Spain, its customs, history, cities, people, festivals, gastronomy, tourist destinations, hiking trails and of course its fine wines ;-).

I pride myself on my attention to detail and ability to produce a text that sounds like it was originally written in English, which is essentially what you want in a translation and a translator.
