ABOUT ME

A gifted linguist and talented business consultant with market research and business development experience in France, Germany and Spain, offering freelance linguistic services since 2007.

My quality commitment includes accepting only projects whose fields fit my personal knowledge, experience and background, carefully conveying their original meaning, and of course,
in an absolute respect for deadlines.

My academic background includes bachelor's degrees in Biology, Translation and Interpreting (English and French as majors), and Romance Philology (Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese as majors); a Master in International Business Management (specializing in International Marketing and Market Research), and a Master of Arts in East European Studies (specializing in Russia).



ENGLISH - SPANISH TRANSLATION SERVICES

I'm mainly devoted to marketing, market research, and business development in the following subject areas: cosmetics, pharma, fashion, energy, and sustainable development.

My other specialized subject areas are economics, law, human resources, education and e-learning.



FRENCH - SPANISH TRANSLATION SERVICES

In this pair, I offer further specialized subject areas, such as architecture, law, haute cuisine, tourism and hospitality, fashion, cosmetics, luxury goods, and French literature and cinema.



ITALIAN - SPANISH TRANSLATION SERVICES

In this pair, my specialties are: gastronomy, tourism and hospitality, fashion, cosmetics, Renaissance art, Italian literature and cinema.



FRENCH - SPANISH SWORN TRANSLATION Appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation

Please note that I only certify my own translations from French into Spanish.
I also provide sworn interpreting services for legal proceedings.


INTERPRETING

As interpreter, I'm experienced both in consecutive and simultaneous interpreting during business meetings, trade fairs, interviews and conferences. Specialized in medical, biology-related and legal topics.

My interpreting services are available in the following pairs:
- French-Spanish and Spanish-French (simultaneous, consecutive & liaison)
- English-Spanish (consecutive & liaison)
- Italian-Spanish (consecutive & liaison)


ACADEMIC TRANSLATION AND RESEARCH

My own academic research, as Ph.D. candidate, focuses on contemporary Swedish and Spanish literatures, and my second line of research relates to the influence of social issues in modern Russian literature.

Furthermore I translate research articles in the following areas: social sciences, mostly sociology, politics, international relations and social psychology; and biology, especially biotechnology, genetics and cell biology.
