User Profile

I am a professional certified freelance translator EN>SP/SP>EN being Spanish my native language.
I have been into the translation field for over 10 years and also a TEFL
teacher of English which has given me the opportunity to proofread and edit loads of written texts and the like for well over 25 years. I am also a Spanish ELE course coordinator and teacher which have enabled me to be constantly updated with the latest trends and nuances of the language.

PERSONAL SKILLS:
• reliable, hard working, fast, dependable and fully committed to projects and deadlines (ie I usually work 7 days a week)
• Ability to work in teams or individually
• Ability to work under pressure and tight deadlines

PROFESSIONAL SKILLS:
All my translations are 100% human as I do believe any kind of translation must be done with care and responsibility as a "work of art". As a professional translator I make sure a document and/or text reads well and most importantly conveys the right message.
Moreover, I like to start by talking and exchanging ideas with the employer as for his/her expectations in terms of product quality and translation. I am available 24/7 once I have taken on a project till it is finished, proofread and sent to the employer.
I do regularly send samples of the work I am doing so we can make changes and the employer can make any changes he considers important. As I am really strict with myself I like my task to be perfect and fulfill the employer´s expectations.
