Bio

From the UK, but now settled in Spain. I have 4 years experience of translating marketing texts in the technology field.

Besides this, I have a Masters degree in International Development and for 6 years have worked with professors at the University of Antwerp, translating PHD theses and proofreading academic articles for publication in journals, as well as a faculty magazine.

I am comfortable translating and proofreading academic texts within social sciences, politics, development and many more fields.

Having taught English for many years too, I have a very strong grasp of grammar and punctuation. Living in Spain for 6 years has given me an excellent grounding in culture, as well as an advanced level of Spanish.
