My passion for reading started in my childhood, when my grandmother sat in a recliner every night and I saw how she buried herself in any book she managed to find — even mine! When I turned ten, my mother took me to a library for the first time, and I fell madly in love with literature. Overtime, that love has become my job.

I studied a BA in Translation and Interpreting at the University of Málaga, the city where I grew up. Later on, I specialized with an MA in Creative and Humanistic Translation (University of Valencia) and an Expert Degree in Video Game Translation (ISTRAD). Moreover, I have taken several courses about marketing and comic translation, computer-assisted translation or CAT tools and productivity.

I translate from English (in its many different varieties) into Spanish, my mother tongue. To ensure my translations sound natural and use the same tone of the source language, I read and watch content in both languages. This helps me learn new vocabulary, discover different accents and recognize cultural references. I am a junior member of ACE Traductores, the Spanish association for editorial translators. Thanks to the organization and my fellow colleagues, I can be up to date on all language news.

I currently live in Barcelona, where I share an office with my cat, Chai. She reminds me when I have to take a break and get up from my desk to play with her. The rest of the time, she stays by my side while I type and sing to myself, searching for the perfect word.
