Born and raised in London with English as a first language, I have a near-native grasp of both Spanish and Catalan thanks to my parents. Through years of travel to Spain and having been based in Barcelona for the last 14 years, I have an in-depth insight into Spanish and Catalan culture and languages, placing me in the privileged position of understanding perfectly the nuances an cultural references of both the source and the target.

I was a management professional in London with 5 years' experience in management consulting with one of the Big 4 and 10 years' experience in the language services sector both as a translator/reviewer and as a project manager and director of operations.

A graduate of Cambridge University and with an MBA from the Barcelona School of Management (Universidad Pompeu Fabra), I have experience in both large multinationals and small start ups, focusing primarily on improving processes and optimizing client delivery.

I believe this background in business and other sectors provides me with an advantage over other professional translators with little or no experience outside their sector.
