Bio
Professional French<>Spanish Translator & Subtitler – 30 Years of Experience


Are you looking for a seasoned French<>Spanish language professional?


I offer high-quality translation and subtitling services backed by three
decades of experience, specialising in technical, environmental,
oenological, tourism, and educational content.


As a qualified translator with a postgraduate degree in Scientific,
Technical and Literary Translation and a background in French language
teaching (FLE), I have built a solid reputation for accuracy, cultural
sensitivity, and subject-matter expertise.


My subtitling portfolio includes documentaries, e-learning materials,
and corporate videos. I have also completed numerous advanced training
courses in environmental, oenological, gastronomic, and tourism
translation, as well as professional subtitling.


Whether you are a company, institution, or content creator seeking a
reliable and experienced linguist, I am here to help you communicate
clearly and effectively with your Spanish- or French-speaking audiences.
