Bio

I am originally from Barcelona, in Spain, and my mother languages are Catalan and Spanish. I mainly translate from English or French into Spanish; however I can translate from Catalan, Spanish or French into English as well. I have a degree in English and I have been living in the UK for many years. Although Spanish and Catalan are my mother tongues, English is at the moment the language I use more often in my everyday life and I have studied translation into English at university as well.



I have graduated at Heriot-Watt University from an MA in Translation and Interpreting studies with French and Spanish as main languages. In this course we translated texts from different subject areas, such as the environment, social science, economy and finance, general politics and the EU.



Other qualifications awarded include a Certificate in Translation with Special Merit by Words Language Services in Dublin, Ireland, which covered the following subject areas: Short Documents, Marketing/Advertising/Tourism, Legal, Technical, General Business, Social/Political/EU, Scientific and Computer. The source language was English and the target language Spanish. I also took a diploma course to prepare for the IOL Diploma in Translation.


In the past I have worked as a professional translator, both as a freelance translator of IBM Computer Manuals, and as a full time translator of Walt Disney Comics Scripts for a Danish publishing company with artists based in Barcelona.

In addition, I have had a varied working experience which has provided me with an extensive knowledge of vocabulary in different areas such as tourism, food, banking and the whisky industry.

Since I graduated from university, I have been employed full time in the Scotch Whisky Industry, where I have used my language skills by conducting whisky tours in Spanish, English and French and translating tour scripts and marketing material and proofreading documents when required. The time spent working as an Assistant Visitor Centre Manager and Tour Manager has widen my vocabulary in the Spirits Industry, marketing and administration fields. 

As I have been employed full time, I haven't had the opportunity to dedicate more time to translation or acquire training in CAT tools; however, this is something I am considering as part of a future career.
