Career / Experience

I offer the expertise of a qualified Bachelor in English, who's a native speaker of the target language and has seventeen years of experience in the field, to translate all sorts of non-legal documents. The final result will be a translation that preserves the original meaning of the text while making use of the style, grammar and idioms which are characteristic of the Spanish language.

I also have extensive expertise in Spanish/English translation.
