Career Affiliate member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting
Chartered Institute of Linguists Diploma in Translation Preparation course completed
Periods of residence in Peru
Native British English speaker
I am a Spanish to English translator specialising in the production of high quality scientific and technical translations. As a graduate in Engineering and Environmental Science I am highly knowledgeable in the scientific and technical fields in which I specialise. Furthermore, the large volume of technical and scientific documents I was required to read and produce to successfully achieve these qualifications means I am well versed in the rigours of producing accurate and professional documents of this type.
As a Career Affiliate member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting, operating under their Code of Conduct, you can be assured that your translation project will be completed to the highest of professional standards.
Through my formal university education and periods of residence in Peru I have developed a high level of fluency in Spanish which encompasses not only general language but also the more specialised language used in scientific and technical texts. My language skills and knowledge in specialist fields are kept up-to-date through extensive reading of relevant general, scientific and technical publications in both Spanish and English. My completion of the Chartered Institute of Linguists Diploma in Translation Preparation course along with the successful achievement of the technology semi-specialised unit, means you can be confident that I have developed the necessary skills to produce a high quality, accurate translation of your documents.
