What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue developing my career in specialized translation, especially in the legal and medical-healthcare fields, while expanding my knowledge and experience.

At the Consulado General de España en Düsseldorf, I’ve translated legal documents, edited and reviewed texts, and interpreted in prisons while completing administrative procedures for Spanish nationals. This work has brought me into contact with European, German, and Spanish legislation.

At Ayuntamiento de Altura, I translate Spanish-English tourism materials and adapt content culturally. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Medical and Healthcare Translation at Universitat Jaume I, and completed medical translation and interpreting practice at HCB BENIDORM, including interpreting in medical consultations and translating health documents.
