UK English-native, Barcelona-based translator with 12 years' experience.
I provide translation and revision services from Spanish, French, Catalan and Portuguese into English. I mainly focus on medical/pharmaceutical translations and have extensive experience translating clinical trial documentation and medical journal articles.
Extensive editing and proofreading experience gained through four years working as an in-house linguist.
