I have six years of experience translating, interpreting and editing documents from Spanish/English and viceversa. I specialize on legal documents as my background has formed in the legal field. However, I am more than happy to help you with any translation from English to Spanish that you may need. I formed my expertise in editing legal and communicational documents as my former role involved to supervise any documentation to be published on social media or submitted to court. I have had the opportunity to be in contact with persons with different nationalities, which has made me familiar with the cultural lingos and cultural expressions. I have written academic articles that have thought me how to careful edit documents in form and substance. I guarantee you a fast and careful translation or editing.

Working as an independent contractor, I have a proven ability to lead and manage large translation projects with strict deadlines and thorough quality assurance processes.
