Qualifications and experience
I am a freelance translator from Catalan, Spanish, and English into English (UK) and Spanish (Spain).
I specialise in medical and scientific translations and also have experience translating marketing and tourism texts. I hold a Master's Degree in Medical and Pharmaceutical Translation and a bachelor's degree in Translation and Interpreting, both from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain.
I use SDL Trados Studio 2019.
I am also a member of APTICÂ (the Catalan Association of Professional Translators and Interpreters).
