I am British but I have been living in Spain since 1991, and speak fluent Spanish. I have a BA (Hons) in Spanish/Italian and Business Studies from the University of Swansea, Wales. Although I have been translating and interpreting occasionally for family, friends and local businesses for over 20 years, I began to translate full time in 2016. I work with local clients, and agencies throughout Spain. I also volunteer for Translators Without Borders and have translated over 130,000 words for them. I have translated and proofread a wide variety of topics, including travel and tourism, cosmetics, art, geography and menus. Recently I also started working as a part-time interpreter in the local Court of First Instance for English-speaking detainees. I continuously try and learn new skills and expand my IT knowledge. I regularly use Word, Excel, PPT and Adobe Acrobat, and the CAT tools I am familiar with are Wordfast Classic, Mate Cat and Memsource.
