Profile

Perfil y currículum de traductora informática

Having over ten years of experience as an IT consultant, both in ERP and CRM areas, I can approach each technical text with the required level of effectiveness and accuracy. This working experience, along with my IT education, provided me with a practical and technical background which has proved invaluable when giving support and advice to customers.

As a translator, I have taken part in many projects in the following fields: IT, automotive industry, energy industry, manufacturing, finance, economics, marketing and life sciences.

I am a Sworn Translator for the English language, appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so I am enabled to perform official translations, valid for administrative and legal procedures, both from English into Spanish and from Spanish into English.
