Bio

Need a Translator? Get in touch!  cpatranslations@gmail

Profession I am a Spanish to English translator, proofreader and posteditor with 15+ years’
experience. I am a full member of ASETRAD, the Spanish Association of Translators, Copy-editors and Interpreters and of 
Mediterranean Editors and Translators (MET), an association for editors, translators and other language professionals who have English as a primary working language.

Qualifications I hold a Diploma in Translation: Business and Law (Spanish to English) from the Chartered Institute of Linguists. I am currently undertaking a Masters in Translation and Translation Technologies at the UOC in Barcelona. 

I hold a BA Honours Degree in History 2:1 from the University of Bristol in the UK, and a Certificate in Teaching
English as a Foreign Language (CTEFLA) taken at International House, London, UK. 

Experience Detail-oriented and focused
on outcomes for my clients,  I have a strong interest in maritime-related
translation, the blue economy, and the world of sustainable fashion and design.
I have worked extensively in insurance and reinsurance, commercial, retail and
web including large volume and confidential jobs. Transcriptions and subtitle
translation are also possible.

About Me Brought up in London in a vibrant bilingual environment, I grew up speaking English and Spanish natively. I developed a profound appreciation
for language early on and decided to work in language teaching, translating and
interpreting. 

My degree in History furthered my understanding of the world and I love it when my work helps foster understanding between people who otherwise wouldn´t have connected.

On a personal level, I believe in the power of virtual communities to
promote ethical and collaborative working practices within the
industry. I aspire one day to become a B Corp certified organisation.
