What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead international operations in healthcare or foreign affairs—using translation, interpretation, and protocol-driven management—while growing in impact, collaboration, and cross-cultural communication.

I’m an International Department Management Lead in Barcelona, coordinating teams and strengthening how departments operate through new management protocols. I also handle correspondence with institutions and private intermediaries to keep projects moving smoothly.

My day-to-day includes supervision of medical translations, bilateral interpretation, and versatile support across related areas. At Institut Català de Retina, I’ve built a reliable workflow for cross-functional communication and accuracy in sensitive healthcare contexts.

Earlier, I served as a Translator and Interpreter for the Military Attaché Office of the UAE, delivering bilateral interpretation at Clínica Barraquer, Instituto Oftalmológico Quirón, Hospital Quirón Barcelona, Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Instituto de Microcirugía Ocular, and Hospital Teknon. I also worked as an Interpreter and Cultural Projects Coordinator for AINVEX – Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Morocco, coordinating bilateral interpretation and cultural projects.

I bring a teaching and communication mindset as well—teaching Spanish as a foreign language at Enforex Barcelona - International House Barcelona. I combine empathy, leadership, proactivity, and strong effective communication, supported by an MBA in Healthcare Management, a Master’s in International Trade, and a Master’s in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE).
