What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow in healthcare translation and clinical-study support—using my medical background to deliver precise Spanish-English communication, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and contribute to accurate documentation and patient-centered outcomes.

I’m a Spanish Medical Translator and bilingual healthcare professional who helps ensure accurate, clear communication in clinical and research contexts. In my current role, I translate medical and legal content from English to Spanish.

My foundation is medical training and practice: I earned a Doctor of Medicine, worked as a Family Medicine Physician in the Spanish National Health Service, and held senior clinical roles in geriatrics and internal medicine in the UK. Licensed to practice family and community medicine in Spain and across the European Union, I bring deep clinical context to every translation and prioritize patient-centered, terminology-precise communication.
