I specialise in legal translation although I am not limited to this area of expertise. I have translated hundreds of other kinds of documents. I am a qualified sworn Translator by the Catholic University of Argentina and by the Spanish Department of Education. I have my degree endorsed by UK Naric. I also have a teaching degree and have worked in secondary schools and 6th form colleges since qualifying. All in all, I have just over 30 years' experience in my chosen professions. I have been a member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists since 2007 and am an experienced, enthusiastic and committed translator, dedicated to creating work of superlative quality at all times. I was born in Argentina and lived there for 22 years until moving to Northern Spain. After 14 years there, I moved to the UK and have lived here since 1999. This has further expanded my ability to assess and evaluate text whilst accurately translating its meaning. It also allows me to respect the cultural background and idiomatic nuances of the country and the individuals to whom the translation is targeted. Being able to speak a language fluently does not make one a translator. I am passionate about my profession and know that it is paramount that translations should be done by qualified and experienced professionals who understand not only the language, but also the culture of the countries where the languages are spoken. I ardently believe in the need to liaise effectively and work efficiently alongside clients throughout the translation process so they remain in control of the work they have left in my care.
