About Me

My professional career began in science rather than translation. After studying chemical engineering in Germany, I spent six years in the United Kingdom, completing a Master's degree in instrumental chemical analysis and working in academic and industrial research. During those years, English became my everyday working language — for scientific reports, presentations, technical discussions and research activities.I have always been fascinated by complex technology — the more complex, the better. My scientific work involved techniques such as chromatography and spectroscopy, as well as the development and evaluation of analytical instrumentation. This experience taught me to look beyond terminology and understand the underlying scientific and technical principles — an approach that continues to shape my work as a translator.In 1997, I began working as a freelance technical translator in Spain. I subsequently obtained the Diploma in Translation (DipTrans) from the Institute of Linguists in London. Living and working in different linguistic and cultural environments has been an important part of developing my competence in translating from English and Spanish into German.
