Qualifications and experience

Hello, I am a seasoned conference interpreter, translator and copywriter. 

I started out as a travel writer working for Frommer's Travel Guides in the late 1990s. I have also been working as a translator and interpreter for over 20 years.

My areas of expertise include travel, tourism, and food (no surprise there). In addition, I have extensive experience in education, international development, marketing, sports, arts and culture, International organizations (EU, OAS), health and life sciences, and human resources. 

My interpretation and translation languages are Portuguese, English, and Dutch (PT<>EN, EN<>NL, and NL<>PT), with a Spanish C. I am an EU-certified conference interpreter for Portuguese, English, and Dutch. I completed my master's in Conference Interpretation at Glendon College, York University, in Canada.

I am based in Barcelona, but love to travel for interpretation assignments (never did manage to shake that travel bug).
