Bio

Proactive, self-motivated, detail-oriented, dedicated, and thorough professional translator from English into Spanish with 20 years of proven experience. Attention to detail, flexibility, organization, and communication are my top priorities when it comes to handle a translation, proofreading, or Post-DTP project. I enjoy working either in teams or independently, and for translation agencies or private customers.
