Bio

I am a freelance Eng, Spa, Ita > Spa, Ita translator specializing in the fields of pharma, medicine and patents. I have spent most of my life between Italy and Spain and I am equally fluent in both languages. My initial background is in physics and I worked as a professional astronomer for over a decade before steering my career path towards translation.

I am the current President of Tremédica.
