Bio
I'm an MA-qualified linguist with extensive experience in Spanish/Catalan to English translation and proofreading. Raised in the UK and Spain, I use my in-depth linguistic and cultural knowledge to produce creative-yet-accurate writing. My projects have involved working with some of the biggest names across various industries, including social networks, banks, skincare brands, hotel chains and travel agencies. Thanks to my know-how, savvy, education and specialisation, I have helped brands successfully take off in the English-speaking market—with nothing getting lost in translation.
