About me

I am a sworn, literary and technical-scientific translator. I have been interested in this profession ever since I started to learn English in my younger years, for this reason I made my objective to become a professional in all the meaning of the word. 

Because of the increasing demands from clients and agencies I am constantly attending seminars, workshops and conferences, and training myself in order to face up all kinds of challenges.

Currently, I am working for some translation agencies, several NGOs associated with the United Nations and also as an English teacher.

I am a native Spanish speaker and my English is excellent as well; I have a broad oral experience. My Portuguese is very good, oral and written.
