What I'm looking for

I want roles where I provide high-quality English↔Spanish translations and editorial oversight, work collaboratively with publishers or agencies, and apply project and people-management skills to improve processes and deliverables.

I am a bilingual English–Spanish literary translator with hands-on experience translating poetry, fiction, technical manuals, and client-focused materials. I manage end-to-end translation projects, from initial briefing through proofreading, revision, and stylistic editing, preserving authorial voice and cultural context.

My work spans literary genres—children's, young people's, sci‑fi, fantasy, horror, romance and erotica—alongside technical texts such as IT, travel, electricity, and blueprint-reading courses. I adapt texts for both general and specialist audiences while meeting client criteria for register, tone, fluency, and consistency.

I have operational and people-management experience from founding and running a small business and regional roles in international organizations, where I led recruitment, training, and quality-control processes. I apply project-management skills and data-informed decision-making to streamline workflows and ensure delivery.

I seek to contribute precise, culturally aware translations and collaborative project leadership to publishers, agencies, or clients needing dependable linguistic and editorial expertise.
