I have worked as a translator and news writer for over 18 years at a media company in Spain, which covered radio, television and a weekly newspaper. The job also included proofreading both in Spanish and English. My language pair is English-Spanish.

I am from Spain but have spent several years in Central America, which has given me the opportunity to become quite familiar with the Spanish used on this side of the world.
