About me

I specialise in English-Spanish translation and interpreting.
I work as a university teacher and (inclusive) language expert.
I am an LGBTQ+ rights activist and a writer.

Biography and education

I was born to Spanish parents in Managua, Nicaragua. We moved to Spain when I was two months old.
I have lived for most of my life in Spain, but I have also studied in Germany and the UK and worked in Greece.
I got my Translation and Interpreting Degree from the University of Granada, Spain, in 2004.
I specialised in Translation for Media (subtitling, dubbing) at the City University, London.
I’m self-taught in all things computer-related (HTML, LaTeX, Python, and the rest).
In 2018 I started writing my PhD on The ethical implications of inclusive language for translators, interpreters and their teachers.

Professional career

My first job was as an intern at the University of Granada. I updated the website of the Translation and Interpreting Department, installed computers and printers, that sort of thing.
I lived in Heraklion (Crete, Greece) from 2004 to 2005. There, I taught Spanish in a small school and translated a book.
When I returned to Spain, I worked as an interpreter and personal assistant for a British company in an English-speaking area. There, I spoke English more often than when I lived in the UK. They also taught me that there is a correct way of brewing a cup of tea (it’s close to the ISO 3103, but not quite).
After that, I founded two translation companies that went on to win about six entrepreneurship awards.
In 2011 I (re-?) discovered my passion for teaching, and I started working on and off for the University of Murcia. After a while, I sold my companies and concentrated on teaching and freelancing.
