E-commerce & Marketing

I am a keen reader and observer of the emerging trends in the society around me; I am constantly updating my linguistic skills and I stay tuned to evolving market needs; all essential skills for translating marketing-related content.

I am familiar with restrictive formatting and length requirements as well as user platforms or proprietary software.

  • Product descriptions
  • Informational brochures
  • Online stores
  • Blog entries
  • Newsletters and press releases
  • Customer support
  • SEO content
  • Business strategy

Business & Finance

My in-house positions in the investment banking, documentation and export sectors in England and Germany provided me with a deep insight and understanding of such businesses, their workflow and terminology. Now as a freelancer, I provide translation services to international companies operating directly or through affiliates in Spain.

  • Commercial operations
  • Banking and financial operations
  • Management consulting
  • Occupational health and safety
  • Compliance handbooks
  • Financial reports
  • Human resources
  • Training and development

Medical & Healthcare

Healthcare-related translation started as a personal interest of mine. I contacted organisations that often needed research articles and studies translated for internal use. These first projects opened doors for me to a wider market that is constantly creating new content and where accuracy is an essential factor.

  • Health promotion and preventive medicine campaigns
  • Orthopaedics
  • Ear, nose and throat
  • Wellness
  • Psychology
  • Alternative therapies
  • Dialysis treatment and centres
  • Instruction manuals

Legal Translation

As a certified translator, I can provide you with a Certificate of Accuracy or affidavit signed and dated by me, stating that the translation performed is a true version of the original.

In addition, some government agencies require a sworn translation for certain documents, which involves an extra fee for the stamp. If you need a sworn translation into English, German or Spanish, I can manage that for you.

  • Corporate social responsibility
  • EU regulations and directives
  • Contracts
  • Data protection
  • Terms and conditions
  • Compliance trainings

E-learning & Didactics

At times, my services have involved teaching language for specific purposes to professionals and university students. As a result of this experience I have developed and implemented learning content for face-to-face classes and online platforms.

Being aware of learning methods and the learner perspective has proved to be a key factor for successfully translating training content and adapting e-learning materials to general users and employees.

  • Learning platforms
  • Staff training manuals
  • Assessment tests
  • Research papers
  • User guides
  • Reviews

Tourism & Services

When living in the Canary Islands, a European tourist destination par excellence, I had the opportunity to translate content for hotel chains and for sponsored magazines as part of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria translation service.

  • Travel guides
  • Presentations
  • Service descriptions
  • Guest apps
  • Reviews
  • Booking platforms
