Bio

I am a freelance English/French to Spanish/Galician translator based in Vigo, Spain. My primary specialisation is audiovisual translation.
I launched my freelance translation business after a year living and studying in France and in Wales and a two-year career as an in-house translator. Having lived in both countries and undertaken an audiovisual translation master’s degree, I have strong language and technical skills that have been put to use in the different roles I have performed along these years.
I have experience subtitling advertising materials, films and broadcasted shows. I also do translation for dubbing and voice-over as well as web and software localisation. Moreover, I am very interested in marketing and transcreation so I always seize the opportunity to work in projects belonging to these fields.
With each translation project I undertake, my goal is to turn a new client into a regular client. I strive to show my translation skills in every single project to guarantee the highest quality and the full satisfaction of the client.
I hope we can collaborate soon!
