I was born and raised in Spain. Studied Biology at Seville University and completed my BSc (First-class Hons) in the UK. I am based in London, have many years of experience in the translation industry - translating English into Spanish and Spanish into English - and in 2001 became a Qualified Member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting. I have been a member of The Society of Authors (SoA) and The Translators Association (TA) since 1999.
